    Read This Before You Enroll

    This is a self-paced, online co-parenting course for any parent or caregiver raising children across two homes. You can take it for yourself, or because a court or attorney has asked you to complete a parenting course.

    For court cases. This course covers the topics listed in Texas Family Code § 105.009 for parent education courses in suits affecting the parent-child relationship. It is designed for parents completing a court-ordered parenting course, including the Children's Interest Seminar under Taylor County Local Rule 3.11. Courts set their own requirements, so please confirm with your attorney or the court before you purchase.

    Not sure which course you need? If your court order or referral says Family Violence Education, Anger Management, or BIPP, this is not that course. See our Family Violence Education and Understanding Your Anger courses. Brain & Heart Healing does not offer BIPP (Battering Intervention and Prevention Program), and this course does not satisfy a BIPP order. It is also not therapy or legal advice.

    Sliding scale available. I want everyone who needs this course to be able to take it. Reduced fees are available based on household size and income, using the current Federal Poverty Guidelines, with prices as low as $20. To apply, email inquiry@brainandhearthealing.com before you enroll. You'll complete a short application with your last three pay stubs, and once you're approved you'll receive a one-time discount code to use at checkout.

    Questions before you enroll? Courses can't be refunded once purchased, so please make sure this course meets your court, agency, or employer requirements before you buy. Send me your question here and I'll reply by email.

    Refund Policy

    The full course opens to you the moment you enroll and every module is available right away, so purchases are non-refundable. Please take a moment before you buy. If you were ordered to complete a parenting course, confirm with your attorney or the court that a self-paced online course meets your requirement. If you have a question about whether this course is the right fit, email inquiry@brainandhearthealing.com before enrolling and I will answer honestly.

    Help your children feel steady

    When parents separate, children's worlds change. This self-paced course gives you practical, research-based tools to lower conflict, keep kids out of the middle, and understand what your children need at every age. It's for any parent or caregiver raising children across two homes: divorcing, separated, never married, grandparents, stepparents, and parents in custody cases. You can take it on your own, even if the other parent doesn't.

    Build a plan for two homes

    You will learn:
    • How children experience separation, and what helps them adjust
    • What kids need from babies to teens
    • Signs your child is struggling, and when to get help
    • How to manage conflict and keep children out of the middle
    • Cooperative and parallel parenting, and how to tell which fits your family
    • The financial side of two homes, including Texas child support basics
    • Family violence, child abuse and neglect, and safety planning
    • Local and statewide resources
    Each module ends with a knowledge check, and passing the final exam earns your Certificate of Completion.

    This course is what I wish more families had access to. Separation changes a child's world, but it does not have to break it. Here you will find practical, research-based tools to lower conflict, keep your children out of the middle, and help them feel safe and loved in both homes, whether or not the other parent takes the course too.
