Structured co-parenting education for separated parents who want practical change.
The Collaborative Co-Parent Courses turn the principles of The Collaborative Co-Parent Method into step-by-step learning.
These courses are designed for separated or separating parents who want more than general advice. They provide practical tools, guided reflections, scripts and strategies to help parents reduce conflict, communicate more effectively and support their children across two homes.
If the book is the foundation, the courses are where the Method becomes a practice.
Communication after separation can feel overwhelming. Messages become emotionally charged.
Small issues escalate quickly. And over time, the tension between parents can begin to affect children. Many parents are not taught how to communicate during conflict. They are left trying to navigate one of the most emotionally complex situations of their lives without a clear framework.
The Collaborative Co-Parent Method™ was created by Gabriella Pomare to provide a structured approach to communication after separation. These workbooks are designed to help you:
• reduce escalating conflict
• communicate more clearly
• respond calmly instead of reacting
• create emotional stability for your child
These are not traditional courses. They are guided programs with practical tools you can apply immediately.

The courses are also suitable for professionals who want to better understand Gabriella’s child-focused and trauma-informed approach to co-parenting.
What makes the courses different?
The Collaborative Co-Parent Courses are not about blame.
They are not about teaching parents how to “win” against the other parent.
They are about helping parents become more conscious, regulated and effective in the way they communicate and make decisions.
The courses combine legal insight, emotional education, practical strategy and child-focused guidance. They help parents understand both the “what” and the “why” behind healthier co-parenting.
You will not just learn what good co-parenting looks like.
You will learn how to practise it in real situations.
Move from insight to action
Reading about co-parenting is powerful. Practising it is where change begins.
The Collaborative Co-Parent Courses help parents take the next step by turning awareness into daily habits, scripts, boundaries and decisions that support a healthier family system.
Explore the courses and begin building the skills for calmer, clearer co-parenting.
