Professional Backgrounds of Our Parenting Coordinators

Parenting Coordinators come from a variety of professions, including family and relationship lawyers, psychologists, counsellors, social workers, mediators and FDRPs. The experience they bring from their individual discipline forms the foundation for their PC training, where they will build multidisciplinary skills in a variety of areas to meet the international best practice guidelines of the AFCC to coach parents in healthier conflict resolution techniques and improve long-term parent-child relationships.

In some cases, professionals choose to complete PC training to help them understand the process they will be referring their vulnerable clients into and may not intend to practise as a PC in the future.

Some of the professional backgrounds of our Parenting Coordinators include:

  • Family Report Writers
  • Psychologists
  • Social Workers
  • Family Lawyers
  • Independent Children’s Lawyers
  • Mediators
  • Family Dispute Resolution Practitioners (FDRPs)
