About Parents Forever Curriculum

The Parents Forever curriculum helps divorcing and separating never-been-married parents through the transition. The curriculum was designed as a 12-hour educational program that encourages parents to negotiate their divorce/separation decisions without putting their children in the middle or forcing their children to choose one parent over the other. The program and corresponding curriculum are research-based, designed, and tested by educators at the University of Minnesota.
