Sharing
Parenting Responsibility

Mondays | April 11th - May 16th | 6-8PM
This is a
six-week course to help parents work together as partners to raise their
children after a separation, divorce, break-up, or for parents who have
never been married to each other. For both parents this means
understanding new roles, responsibilities, and rights. Cooperative
co-parenting can help reduce stress and conflict for both parents and
especially for children. This educational class will help both parents
develop the vital skills needed to create a “parenting plan” with their
children’s best interest in mind. This plan is written during the course
of the six weeks. Space is limited so registration is required. For more
information or to register contact Patti at (608) 784-8125.
