The Wohl Separated Parenting Programme is a structured four-session course supporting parents following separation. It focuses on reducing conflict, strengthening co-parenting communication, and promoting consistent, child-centred parenting. Combining practical tools with emotional insight, to improve outcomes for children during and after family breakdown.
"The course was thoughtfully delivered and relevant to parents at different stages of separation, with children of varying ages. It felt practical, grounded and accessible, and offered tools that could genuinely be applied in my real life circumstances."
