THIS MANUAL AND VIDEOS ARE INTENDED FOR SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO TEACH AND RUN A HIGH-CONFLICT PARENT EDUCATION CLASS
This Manual describes a 9-class series of psychoeducation for high conflict coparents. The classes are court ordered. Through Intake we screen out participants with serious current IPV, substance abuse, or loss of contact with children who resist or refuse visitation for more than 6 months. Class is taught by two co-leaders (one male and one female) (one mental health professional and one legal professional, often a retired judge). A pass or fail certificate is issued to each class member, and is provided to the court. The Manual comes with a video recording of all nine classes.
Put a photo of your CPP (nicely framed and in a prominent place on wall or bureau or nightstand) in your child’s bedroom. Take a cell phone photo that shows the picture and where it is placed in the child’s bedroom, and bring it (your cell phone with the photo) to class.
Three Choices for things you don’t like that are outside your control:
Having listened to your fellow class members, pick a topic FOR ANOTHER CLASS MEMBER—a real life example of something that you see is hard for him or her to accept, and say how she or he might go about radically accepting it.
Includes all homework, handouts and DVD video recording of 9 live classes. For more information, or to purchase, contact: mary_ferriter@williamjames.edu
Parent fights can force kids to try to resolve adult issues and blame themselves when they fail. |
Kids almost never care about the things we parents are fighting about; they just want the fights to stop. |
You cannot be a good parent and a lousy coparent. |
Be careful where you get your advice.The world is full of messages about not letting your co-parent “get away with it” and “teaching him/her a lesson.” Advice on warfare is not what you need. |
