COMPASS provides a structured, evidence-based parent education experience that combines required topics (such as the impact of conflict on children and communication skills) with practical tools for real-life application. The program also includes conflict-level customization, court expectations, and research-informed topics that support long-term co-parenting outcomes.
COMPASS is designed to go beyond passive, time-based learning. While it covers standard parent education requirements, the program emphasizes practical application through guided prompts, real-life exercises, and conflict-specific tools. Parents are not only introduced to key concepts, they are supported in applying them in their day-to-day co-parenting situations.
Parents will be able to register directly through the COMPASS website once enrollment opens. If you are referring clients, additional guidance and referral materials will be available at launch.
At this time, certificates are provided directly to participants upon completion. Filing requirements vary by jurisdiction, and parents are responsible for submitting their certificate to the appropriate court unless otherwise specified.
Parents cannot skip through any content (including videos). They must spend a minimum of 4-hours in the course in order to receive a certificate of completion, which is timed section-by section. After 15 minutes of inactivity, users are automatically logged out. Parents may not have the course open in multiple tabs. Once earned, the certificate includes a fully verifiable ID.
COMPASS will be available on June 1, 2026.
$49.95
Includes 6 months access to COMPASS, a downloadable PDF workbook, and a Certificate of Completion.
