Train future
leaders of classes for divorced parents
As the effects of divorce on children become more clear, an increasing
number of judges is requiring parenting classes for divorcing
couples. This means an greater need for leaders—and trainers
like you to teach them.
Track #3 will be led by David
Beamish, a marriage and family therapist who has been training
leaders and leading parenting groups for Cooperative
Parenting and Divorce since its introduction. David will
share what he has learned about helping these special families.
At
the Cooperative Parenting & Divorce Trainers track
you will . . .
- receive training and
authorization to conduct your own Leader Training Workshops (LTWs)—and
earn extra income
- learn how to implement
and publicize your LTWs
- get advice from an
experienced trainer about what your LTW participants will need
to know
- enhance your presentation
skills by working in small groups
- network with fellow
educators who understand the challenges you face every day
- learn how to teach
group facilitation skills that are important in any leadership
position (including dealing with difficult attendees)
- learn the absolutes
required for a successful LTW, along with ways to adapt the course
material for your particular audience
- become re-energized
in this uplifting and motivational atmosphere
