Parenting Coordination: Where It Fits in Mediation Practice

Parenting Coordination is becoming an increasingly important form of support for families after separation. But what does it involve in practice, and how does it intersect with mediation work?

In this session, Bonnie Douglas, Divorce Coach, FDRP, and Parenting Coordinator, will explore:

• what Parenting Coordination is (and is not)
• how it supports the implementation of court orders and assists families experiencing ongoing conflict
• the benefits for parents, children, courts, and practitioners
• practical examples of how Parenting Coordinators help address issues not clearly covered by orders
• training pathways for mediators interested in adding Parenting Coordination to their practice

Whether you are considering expanding your professional services or simply want a clearer understanding of how Parenting Coordination operates in post-separation contexts, this session offers a grounded introduction to a growing area of family dispute resolution practice.
