Through co-parent coaching, parents have the opportunity to see themselves and their situation through a new lens. Through inquiry and feedback, coaches help parents take responsibility for a new narrative and try out new behaviors that invite transformational shifts in the co-parenting dynamic. This webinar serves as an introduction to co-parent coaching as a cutting-edge intervention for both simple and complex family situations.
