Cooperative PArenting & Cooperative



​Generations

About Cooperative Parenting 

This program is specifically for couples with children experiencing divorce/end of relationship, child custody issues, and/or communication problems.  The class seeks to improve communication and conflict resolution skills so that children are not adversely effected by the separation of their parents. 

Strong relationships and communication between a child's parents during and after separation decrease the negative impact of the experience on children.  Parents will learn how to co-parent and prevent children being caught in the middle of emotionally charged adult situations. 

​This program consists of two 5-hour classes on Sundays from 1:00 - 6:00 p.m.  Classes are offered 4 times per year (February, May, August, November).  There is a fee of $60.00 for each participant.

About Cooperative Generations

This is a program specifically designed for grandparents who have received temporary custody of grandchildren, and the parents who are working toward reunification with their children. 

There are many strong emotions (anger, resentment, hurt, disappointment, etc.) that are involved in these situations.  Cooperative Generations teaches skills regarding communication, conflict resolution, setting appropriate boundaries, lessening negative impact on children, and improving family relationships. 

​These classes consist of two 5-hour 
Sunday classes and a final scheduled meeting consisting of only family members.  Classes are scheduled on a case-by-case basis based on enrollment numbers.  The cost of the class is a one-time fee of $75.00 for each participant.
