Designed by a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, TransParenting^® was initially piloted in 1988 under the name Children Cope with Divorce (CCWD). Immediately successful the program was featured on 20/20, The Today Show, CNN, ABC, CBS News, The New York Times, Parade magazine and many other national and local media. Since the program was able to significantly reduce litigation in addition to helping reduce conflict and the negative effects on children, other court systems across the country wanted the program available in their communities so it became replicated on a national level. Families First then devoted resources to update and expand the program. Extensive focus groups of judges, parents, and licensed clinical social workers helped create the program now called TransParenting^®. This program has now served over one and a half million parents across 40 states.

PARENT PROGRAM
TransParenting^® is a four-hour, interactive experience that focuses on how effective parenting during this time of transition can lessen the negative impact of divorce and parental separation on children. While focusing on a Co-Parenting approach, trained masters-level instructors use a multi-media format that teaches parents how to best lead their changing families to a successful and positive outcome.
