About Us
Since 1999, the Nebraska Extension co-parenting class has supported over 18,000 parents and counting. In turn, these parents have cared for over 42,000 children in every county in Nebraska through our parenting education course.
Co-parenting for Successful Kids curriculum was initially developed by the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. A Nebraska Extension Educator recognized a lack of parenting education in their county that was specific to parents in the process of divorce, custody modification, or separation. This program began at the county level, spread through the state, and is now implemented nationally in partnership with other cooperative Extension universities.
If you are interested in learning more about how to become a partner and offer Co-parenting for Successful Kids in your state, please contact Linda Reddish at linda.reddish@unl.edu.
