What is Active Parenting?

Active parenting is more than a parenting style, it’s a commitment to growth, accountability, and meaningful involvement in your child’s life. At Court Counseling Institute (CCI), our court-approved active parenting programs are designed for families navigating legal challenges. Whether you’ve been court-ordered to complete a positive parenting course or are seeking personal growth as an active parent, our programs help restore healthy family dynamics through real-life, evidence-based strategies. With a focus on education, structure, and responsibility, each program supports both legal compliance and long-term parenting success.

Parenting often intersects with the legal system during custody disputes, CPS cases, or family court proceedings. In these situations, judges and attorneys may require participation in a verified positive parenting program online or live format. Developed by licensed clinicians with over 25 years of court experience, CCI’s programs meet strict documentation standards and are accepted in most jurisdictions. Whether you choose our active parenting of teens track or our 1-day accelerated option, you’ll learn practical skills like communication, boundary-setting, and managing stress while demonstrating engaged parenting to the court.

All programs are flexible, accessible, and confidential. Clients can choose from live group sessions, one-on-one parenting therapy, or our convenient 24/7 self-paced positive parenting program online. CCI also offers a 1-Day Active Parenting Class for clients seeking a faster, court-compliant option. Each format emphasizes active involvement in teens and children, providing tools for healing and rebuilding family trust. Completion letters are detailed, personalized, and legally appropriate, never generic certificates. Thousands of active parents have turned to CCI to meet court mandates and create a more connected, resilient family life.

Overview of Our Active Parenting Program

Active Parenting is a court-approved, parent-focused program designed to help parents build stronger, healthier relationships with their children. Our goal is to provide effective tools that support child development at every age. Through this psycho-educational approach, parents learn how to use non-violent discipline, encourage mutual respect, and create open communication within the family. Active Parenting promotes positive change by equipping parents with practical strategies that can be applied daily.

We offer two flexible formats to meet a wide range of client needs, including those required by the legal system:

Active Parenting Therapy

This structured Active Parenting therapy program is designed to strengthen the parent-child relationship. As a parent-focused psycho-educational program, it emphasizes non-violent discipline, mutual respect, and open communication. Participants engage in one-on-one sessions with a licensed mental health professional to develop effective strategies for behavior management, conflict resolution, and emotional support. This format is especially beneficial for parents involved in custody proceedings, supervised visitation, or those needing additional guidance. Progress is closely monitored through a secure client portal to ensure consistency and engagement. Upon successful completion, participants receive a personalized digital report of two to three pages. Additionally, official legal verification letters are available upon request to meet court or agency requirements and confirm program completion for legal purposes.

Active Parenting 1-Day Class

The Active Parenting 1-Day Class is a court-approved, focused program designed for parents needing a concise yet comprehensive parenting education. It is suited for those with court-mandated requirements or parents seeking to enhance their skills. The class covers positive discipline, fostering responsibility, and improving communication with children. Although completed in one day, the program offers practical strategies for immediate use at home. Full participation is required for successful completion: participants must remain visible on camera with audio, attend the entire session, complete assigned tasks, and submit a post-course reflective assignment for review by our supervision team. Upon completion, a Letter of Completion is provided. Additional legal documentation, including verification letters for court or agency purposes, can be supplied upon formal request to meet specific legal requirements.

Our Active Parenting programs are committed to helping parents create a safe, respectful, and supportive environment for their children. Whether you choose the in-depth therapy option or the concise 1-day class, you will gain valuable skills that promote healthy family relationships and positive child development. At Court Counseling Institute, we offer court-approved programs and provide all necessary documentation to support your legal or personal needs.
