Court-aware
Built for parents working with attorneys, GALs, and evaluators.
If you have been systematically pushed out of your child’s life, you know what that feels like. The missed calls. The hostility at exchanges. A child who looks at you like a stranger, or repeats words they could not have thought of on their own.
It can feel like grieving a child who is still alive, while everyone around you acts as if nothing has been lost.
This is not normal co-parenting difficulty. This is something specific. It has a name. It is documented in family law. And it requires a specific response.
This course is built for parents in exactly this situation.
Not a coach with a story. A licensed clinician with a plan.
Most parental alienation help online comes from people who lived through it and now coach. Their stories are real. But they are not licensed, and a story is not a method.
This course was built by Suzanne Dircks, M.A., LMHC, a licensed mental health counselor with 44 years working with families and more than 1,000 Guardian ad Litem investigations behind her. She has sat in the seat the court appoints to look at a family and report back. That is the difference between someone who felt it and someone who has studied it from every side.
Decades on the inside of these cases.
- Licensed Mental Health Counselor (M.A., LMHC)
- 44 years working with families in conflict
- 1,000+ Guardian ad Litem custody investigations
This course is for you if...
- Your child resists contact, repeats adult language, or seems aligned completely with the other parent.
- Alienation is part of your litigation, evaluation, therapy work, or Guardian ad Litem process.
- You need to document your efforts without making the conflict worse.
- You have been separated from your child and need a structured, patient roadmap back.
- You want to work with your attorney from facts, not panic.
$89.95. Certificate included.
The work is patient, not performative.
Alienation situations make parents feel pushed to prove everything at once. The stronger path is steadier: understand the dynamic, document with care, regulate your own responses, and keep building the conditions for contact.
Built for the situation that feels hopeless
You do not have to wait for things to get better before you start. This course is built for the hardest middle of it.
- Even if your child won't speak to you right now.
- Even if your ex refuses to take part.
- Even if there is an active court case.
- Even if it has already been years.

$89.95, one time. Not another program that drains you.
Not a $5,000 reunification program. Not a monthly membership. One payment, lifetime access, and a certificate family courts accept. Next to what this fight has already cost you, the price is almost beside the point, and it is a quiet signal that this is education from a licensed clinician.
Courts accept this work
This course is accepted by family courts nationwide. Upon completing all 11 modules, you receive a certificate of completion documenting your engagement with evidence-based strategies for navigating parental alienation.
Many courts and Guardian ad Litem investigators view this kind of documented work as meaningful evidence that you are investing in the relationship and taking the conflict seriously.
Our guarantee
If your court does not accept this certificate after you complete the course, provide written documentation and we will refund you in full.

The course reflects what she has seen courts, children, and alienated parents need most: clarity, documentation, and a steadier path forward.
A note on scope. This is education, not therapy, diagnosis, or legal advice. Parental alienation is a real, observed dynamic in family-law practice, and it is not a formal psychiatric diagnosis. No course can diagnose your family or predict what a court will decide. The certificate documents that you completed the education. It is not proof that the other parent alienated your child, and it is not a custody outcome. For decisions about your case, work with your attorney.
