| Sound Parenting |
| Sound Parenting is a parenting program developed at Coastal Counseling Associates to support separating and divorcing parents in Connecticut. It addresses the needs of children through educating parents, and helping to create parenting plans during this major life transition. Separation or divorce puts major stress on all of the individuals involved, particularly the children. The mission of Sound Parenting is to effectively increase cooperation, and collaboration in the co-parenting relationship, using mediation to resolve parenting conflicts or disputes, and improve parents ability to communicate during this time of transition. Sound Parenting counselors work to enrich parents' awareness of the children's needs. Parenting plans are drafted, and parents work together to implement the plans. While the focus is on the children, parent coordinators do not meet with children individually. There are no clinical analysis or therapy used when developing plans. The parent coordinator may refer children to a child specialist for therapy surrounding adjustment issues in divorce, if there is a need. Parents control decisions for their children based upon everyone's needs. Sound Parenting is structured, with a clear focus, and is solution oriented. |
| The parent coordinators at Coastal Counseling Associates have been trained in the methods of divorce recovery, conflict resolution, mediation, collaborative divorce, co-parenting training, and are licensed psychotherapists. The parent coordinators have studied family systems, as well as trained in human development, and behavioral interventions. They have worked with high conflict families and couples going through separation or divorce. |
