Parents Forever: Co-Parenting Education

Parents Forever is an educational class for parents and caregivers in the process of divorce, already divorced, or never married but separating. In this class, you will learn how family transitions affect children and how children experience family conflict. You will learn how to care for yourself during your family transition and how to prevent and reduce conflict. Offered monthly in Ashland and Bayfield Counties for divorcing parents and others involved in co-parenting situations.  Explore healthy strategies for parenting between two households and keeping kids out of the middle of parent conflicts.
