Parenting Together©
A Program for divorcing

This is a two hour class for divorcing parents to help them understand the new relationship they have with each other and with their children. The purpose of this class is to help families who have been or who are in the process of being divided by divorce to survive and to raise healthier, happier children.

This class meets the Arkansas requirements for
parenting classes or mediation as required for divorcing couples.

Although only parents are usually required to attend these classes, we've found that it can be helpful if other family members, such as grandparents or stepparents, attend also so they can help in the development of the new family structure.

Divorcing couples may attend together or separately. If possible, attending together often helps avoid questions and confusion later on. Use your own discretion.

A NOTE FROM YOUR TEACHER, BOB COLLINS:

One of the main reasons I teach this class is because I have been divorced myself. I understand what you're going through, I've been there. And I've had over 17 years' experience teaching broken families how to succeed. Divorce is one of the worst experiences that can hit a family.

With the Parenting Together© class, I can help divorcing parents understand how to handle their new situation better, and how to help your children survive the upset more successfully.
