How to Get Started
There are two easy ways to move forward, depending on where you are in the process.
Option 1: Schedule a Call
For new referrals, questions, or partnership conversations
Sometimes a short conversation is the best place to start.
Schedule a Partnership CallUse this option if:
- You are unsure if parent coaching is a good fit
- You want to talk through a family situation
- You are exploring contracts, funding, or services
- You are new to working with Parent Coach Connection
Option 2: Submit a Referral
For established partners ready to refer a family
If you have worked with me before and have a family ready for coaching, you can send referral information directly.
Submit a ReferralThis option allows you to:
- Share key background information
- Identify county involvement or funding source
- Move the referral forward without scheduling a call
What to Expect After a Referral
- Referral information is reviewed
- I connect with the family to assess fit
- If coaching is appropriate, services begin
- Communication occurs as needed with the referring partner
Parent coaching is not therapy. It is a collaborative, strengths-based process focused on helping parents practice new skills over time.
When Coaching Is a Good Fit
Parent coaching may be helpful when:
- Parents are open to reflection and change
- Family stress or communication challenges are present
- A parent feels overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward
- Families would benefit from practical, nonjudgmental support alongside existing services
Common outcomes include:
- Improved communication and consistency at home
- Stronger parent–child relationships
- Increased confidence and self-regulation skills
- Greater engagement with schools, services, and supports
