Parent Education Program (PEP)
The Superior Court of the State of Connecticut requires parents with minor children to attend parenting education programs when these parents have domestic relations court orders, especially decrees of dissolution of marriage or of legal separation. The programs are designed to educate parents about how to help children handle problems and changes in their family such as divorce or living apart. The law requires that the program include information about the development stages of children, helping children adjust to parent separation, how to provide cooperative parenting, parental dispute resolution and conflict management, guidelines for visitation and stress reduction for children.
