CAUGHT UP IN A COURT MATTER & NEED A CARING DADS PROGRAM?
The goal isn’t just to finish a program. It’s to complete one that meets the courts' requirements.

WHO WE HELP
If you recognise yourself in even one of these, you are in the right place, and far from the first.
A judge, lawyer or child protection worker told you to complete a dads program and gave you a date.
Your order names Caring Dads, and the local dads group has a waiting list or doesn't fit your shifts.
You searched parenting classes for dads near me and found nothing you can actually attend.
Child protection is involved and you need documentation before your next meeting.
You are working toward more time with your children, or toward unsupervised contact.
Nobody ordered you. You just want to be a different kind of father than you have been.
WHAT MOST PEOPLE DON’T EXPECT
Your court order or safety plan may simply say "complete a dads program." But it may not tell you how many sessions you need, which format qualifies, or what documentation you'll need when you're finished. And while you're trying to figure it out, your deadline keeps getting closer.
Asking means explaining why you need the program. So you put it off another week, and another.
Your lawyer bills by the hour whether you've enrolled or not. Add time off work and the drive to a local dads group.
Your referrer rejected the format you chose. Now you pay twice, and you have lost weeks you didn't have.

Your court or probation officer needs documentation they can verify. Court Counseling Institute provides a detailed completion letter with your instructor’s name, professional credentials, signature, completed hours and dates, topics covered, and contact information for verification.

THE COURT COUNSELING INSTITUTE PROCESS
Four steps. Most people are enrolled in under five minutes, and can start the same day.

Pick your format
Online course or therapy. Check your order names the one you choose, we will confirm it if you call.

Enroll and pay
Register in about four minutes. Live classes let you choose your date from the calendar.

Access & Start
Your confirmation and program details are emailed after registration. Complete your program.

Your letter arrives
Signed by your clinician, listing your dates, hours and topics. Three business days after you finish.
STILL NOT SURE?
We understand you may have questions about our programs. Here are answers to some of the most common ones:
Twenty weekly 50-minute sessions, about twenty weeks. With approval you can take up to three sessions a week, which brings it to roughly seven weeks.
Sometimes, and sometimes not. Orders that name a specific certified group program usually mean that program. Confirm with your court, lawyer or child protection worker before you register, and send us the order if you'd like our read on it.
Yes. What you share stays between you and your therapist under privacy laws and professional ethical standards. Your completion report goes to a court or agency only if your order requires it. A confidential individual format is the main reason fathers choose this over a group.
A letter, plus a detailed two to three page court or agency report on request. Courts want a full document, and printable certificates are the most common reason people repeat a program.
Our therapy sessions may be eligible for reimbursement through extended health benefits, depending on your plan and your therapist's designation. Ask us what to look for in your plan.
Full attendance is required. Missed or incomplete sessions may require re-registration at full fee, and no refunds are issued once the program has started.
