Co-parenting conversations can quickly become tense, misunderstood or focused on past conflict. This live virtual three-part series will help you respond more effectively, manage emotional reactions and keep communication focused on what matters most—your children.

You may register individually. Your co-parent does not need to participate for you to benefit.

Sundays: September 20, September 27 and October 4, 2026
Time: 6:30–8:00 p.m. CST
Location: Live virtual sessions
Fee: $150 + GST for the complete three-part series

Your registration includes all three sessions.

Across the three sessions, you will learn practical strategies to:

• Recognize common co-parenting conflict patterns.
• Manage emotional reactions before responding.
• Communicate in a brief, clear and child-focused manner.
• Use BIFF® Responses when faced with hostile or emotionally charged communication.
• Develop respectful parenting proposals.
• Apply these skills to realistic co-parenting situations.

The sessions include education, guided discussion and practical exercises that you can begin using immediately.

The series is facilitated by Melanie Vegter, BSW, RSW, a Registered Social Worker, Certified Divorce Coach® and New Ways for Families® provider.

Melanie specializes in supporting individuals and families experiencing separation, divorce, co-parenting conflict and changes in parent-child relationships. Her approach combines professional knowledge with practical strategies that help parents communicate more intentionally and keep their children’s needs at the centre of their decisions.

You cannot control how your co-parent communicates, but you can strengthen the way you respond, establish boundaries and approach difficult conversations.

$150 + GST includes all three live virtual sessions.

This is an educational, skills-based series and is not individual counselling, legal advice or a substitute for legal services. Participants are expected to respect the privacy of others and avoid sharing identifying information about their children or co-parent during group discussions.
