FREE online webinars and courses to help separated parents reduce conflict and coparent their children
Parents in Somerset can access a range of free, online webinars and courses designed to help them reduce conflict, improve coparenting communications and support their children’s wellbeing.
Live webinars on the following 3 topics are being held at 1 PM-2 PM and 7:30 PM-8:30 PM on:
• Top tips for reducing coparenting conflict with your ex-partner: 16 September
• Helping your children navigate separation and divorce: 22 September
• A separated parents’ guide to successful coparenting communications: 20 October
Parents can attend 1 or all of these webinars and as long as one of the parents lives in Somerset, they are free to attend.
Ruth James, the Reducing Parental Conflict Coordinator, Somerset Council, who has worked with separated parents for several years will be running the webinars, to find out more and book your place please go to: https://www.cypsomersethealth.org/?page=events__parenting_cafes_and_parenting_when_separated_courses
If parents would like more support in navigating separation, they are welcome to come along to a 5-week, evidence informed online course.
“The reducing the impact of separation on everyone” online course is a great opportunity to meet other separated parents, get support and find out more about navigating separation, reducing conflict and successfully coparent your children together.
This is what a parent said after the latest course: “I did not want to come along this at all, I was told I had to – but I am really pleased I did it. Ruth has been great and it has been lovely meeting other parents in the same situation – hearing other people’s stories has really help me feel less alone. The course covers all the topics I would want it to and it helped me build my confidence to carry on trying to do the right thing for myself and my children.”
Two courses run in parallel so separated parents can attend different course and they start on: Tuesday 3 November, 7:30 PM-9 PM and Wednesday 4 November, 9:30 AM-11 AM.
