Parent Education

Home | Parent Education

The legislature requires all parents in litigation involving children to complete a parent education program under Minnesota statute 518.157. Impact Parent Education meets all requirements for online parent education, divorce, and separating parents.

Mediation Works North has an unparalleled 30-year track record of working within the court system in family court and the field of mediation, successfully helping hundreds of parents resolve parental conflict, parenting time issues, and developing parenting plans.

There is no other parent education program that brings this degree of hands- on co-parenting experience into an educational program for separated parents and divorce. The program helps parents understand common co-parenting challenges and offers helpful suggestions for parents to try. Impact Parent Education uses an easy-to-navigate educational platform with
downloadable materials that are indexed for easy access to topics and provides an audible option for parents taking the program with a mobile device.

The Certificate of Completion is immediately downloadable, so parents can email it to their attorney or file it with the Court Administrator’s office if they are unrepresented.

**If you're a parent with a signed In Forma Pauperis Order, you are eligible for a 50% discount.

The application is simple. Please get in touch with Mediation Works North on the Impact Parent Education program website.

Reviews for Impact Parent Education Programs

I have taken a lot of online course learning for various things and this surpassed all my expectations. The course work was easy to follow, filled with lots of information without seeming overwhelming. It filled in many gaps in my knowledge or brought up great points I had not thought of before. Each quiz was not created to be overly easy, even if the subject matter seemed easy to me which helped stimulate my thought process around the content, helping me to pull more value from each section. After completing this course I feel much more hopeful for the future of my child and co-parenting.

I really learned a lot from the Impact Parent Education course. I feel like I have a much better idea of how to effectively communicate with my other co-parent. I have strategies now that I didn’t have before. I like the idea of keeping communication about changes or concerns separate from drop off and pick up times. I think that communication is important but the child shouldn’t have to be a part of those discussions. I think the 15 min phone call for the smaller changes and the formal parent meetings for bigger concerns are both going to be very helpful.

I learned a lot from this course and I will be using a lot of what I learned from here on out with my decisions and actions going forward with my children and through the rest of my divorce process.

This course provided a lot of good tips for this entire process. I wish my ex and I would have had this information earlier on in our separation.

I appreciate the well-rounded topics contained in the Impact Parent Education course.

The Impact Parent Education course was helpful and wish that I was referred to it much earlier.

This course was practical and informative.

This course was helpful as it made me take a step back and think about things. It also helped me to understand the legal process a little better and what to expect going through this all.
