Providing Research-Informed Education Supporting Practitioners Navigating Separated-Family Complexities
Advancing Professional Education in Post-Separation Practice
Co-Parenting Australia (CoPA) provides education and training for practitioners working with children, parents and families after separation. Our work strengthens professional understanding of attachment, child development, relational safety, family dynamics and evidence-based intervention pathways, particularly where presentations involve parenting strain, family violence, coercive control, psychological pressure, disrupted parent-child relationships or complex repair needs.
Research That Strengthens Practice
Co-Parenting Australia connects research with professional practice by making current evidence accessible, relevant and usable. CoPA’s research work strengthens understanding of children’s experiences, family relationships and the challenges that can arise after separation, supporting practitioners to make better-informed assessments and identify appropriate pathways for intervention and repair.
