What is Parental Conflict Coaching?
PC coaching is an innovative approach to working with families where children are caught up in their parents’ acrimonious relationships. PC coaching involves guiding individual parents through a proven and realistic process to find workable common ground for both parents in conflict. It assists parents in identifying and understanding the ways in which their behaviours and actions may affect their children. Additionally, it unlocks each parent’s potential to see and understand each other’s valid positions and points of view, even if they disagree with them.
