Co-Parenting for Resilience Online Course Overview

Co-Parenting for Resilience classes from OSU Extension help the children of divorcing parents overcome the effects of divorce more quickly and is approved by the Oklahoma court system for most counties. No matter how agreeable and cooperative some parents may be, divorce is an emotionally charged process that often has unintended consequences. Research suggests that a three to four-hour class can help parents learn what behaviors to avoid and other things they can do to help their children through this process.
