High Conflict Parenting Class

Better Parenting Better Divorce is a parenting class designed for high conflict parents. We teach divorced or separated parents how to better communicate and focus on their children instead of the anger and hurt that comes with divorce. This 6 week class meets the requirements of the the Los Angeles Superior Court but you don't have to be court ordered to attend. Maybe you just want to be the best parent you can be. Call me at 310-373-7994, and I'll explain.
