Still Family is a trademark of Susan Carpenter Coaching and Consulting LLC. Susan created this community to empower parents struggling with family transitions. While a majority of parents we work with are going through divorce, ongoing family court battles and custody or parenting time conflict with an uncooperative coparent or experiencing high conflict issues, we help all parents who want to find a better way to parent effectively. We offer self-paced parenting classes, live events, support groups and book clubs through free and paid memberships.
Birds of a feather stick together!
Still Family Parenting Community has a lot to offer. We have classes covering topics related to parenting, coparenting, conflict management and relationship skill building. While we focus on divorced parents and coparenting issues, we are all about relationships. If you struggle with relationships or connectedness, you have come to the right place.

Build connection with the ones you love the most and prepare for the ones yet to come!
Many people struggle with relationships these days, but family conflict and relationship problems have been around since the beginning of time. It is said that one in four families is experiencing estrangement (separation, no contact, misunderstandings and communication problems). Divorced parents struggle with parental alienation, false accusations, resist-refuse dynamics and coercive control. In most cases, you can restore and rebuild parent-child relationships without having to go to court. In fact, court can do very little to resolve relationship problems. You need to empower yourself. That is where Still Family Parenting comes in. We'll show you the ropes, teach you things you may have never learned and support you through this trauma while you build up your confidence and build relationship skills!

"I took the Circle of Security Parents Program, and I learned so much! It really helped me connect with my child and manage behaviors. Thank you so much! I love that you offer Saturday classes, too. Amazing! I recommend this program to everyone.
"I cannot tell you how much you helped me deal with my vindictive coparent. It has changed everything for me and my kids! It's so nice to connect with other parents going through similar experiences. I no longer feel like an outcast."
"What a great approach to helping families. Your organization is very knowledgeable and put things in simple terms that I could understand. I'm not sure why family court doesn't explain things to parents. My approach to the situation was really messed up. Thanks for helping me turn things around. I got all my parenting time back because of you! God bless."
