Asking for help when things are hard takes real courage especially when children are involved. Your assessment request is in. A TPP counselor will be in touch within 48 hours to schedule your intake call and take it from here.
No guessing, no waiting in the dark. This is the complete picture of how your family moves from assessment request to program start.
Your assessment form has been received and is in our secure intake queue. Your reference number is confirmed. No further action is needed from you right now.
A member of our counseling team will review your assessment form — your situation, your children, and your stated needs — before reaching out. This isn’t automated. A real person reads every request before contact is made.
Your counselor will reach out via your preferred contact method — phone, email, or text — to schedule your formal 1-hour intake assessment call. They’ll confirm your availability and answer any questions you have before the call.
This is the heart of the assessment process — a private, structured 1-hour call with your assigned counselor. They’ll walk through your family history, your co-parenting situation, your children’s needs, and your goals. Both parents participate in the intake, though not necessarily at the same time.
Following the intake assessment, your counselor will make a recommendation about program fit whether TPP is appropriate for your family’s situation and, if so, which program length (9, 10, 11, or 12 months) is the right match. This is based on the complexity of your situation, not on your ability to pay.
If both parents decide to move forward, enrollment is confirmed, fees are discussed (including sliding-scale options), and your full support team is assigned your counselor, financial coach, and nutritionist. Month 1 begins with your first recorded co-parent communication call cycle and partner referrals, if needed.
We’ve sent a confirmation to the email address you provided. It contains your reference number and a summary of what happens next. If you don’t see it within 15 minutes, check your spam or junk folder — and add hello@transcendentparenting.org to your contacts to make sure future messages reach you.
The intake call is the most important conversation in the assessment process. Here's what your counselor will cover — so there are no surprises when the call happens.
Your counselor will ask about your family structure, the timeline of your separation, and any relevant history — custody arrangements, court involvement, and how long things have been in their current state.
How do you and your co-parent currently communicate? What does conflict look like? What works, what doesn't, and what are the patterns that keep repeating? Your counselor listens without judgment and without taking sides.
How are the children doing? What's the custody and visitation arrangement? Are there any specific concerns about the children's wellbeing, school, routines, or adjustment to the separation that your counselor should understand?
Your counselor will screen for workforce, financial, and social service needs — not to pry, but to ensure that any early referrals to Workforce Solutions, community college, or HHS happen in Month 1, when they'll have the most impact.
TPP conducts a brief, confidential safety screening for domestic violence and high-conflict risk factors. This is not punitive — it ensures the program is used safely and appropriately for your situation, and that the right resources are available if needed.
The final portion is yours. Ask anything — fees, timeline, what the recorded call process looks like, what happens if your co-parent is resistant, what graduation looks like. Your counselor will give you a straight answer.
You don't need notes, documents, or anything in writing. Just show up. Your counselor will guide the conversation.
Basic details about your children — ages, who they primarily live with, any school or health concerns — will help the conversation move efficiently.
The program involves twice-monthly recorded calls. Having a general sense of your availability (evenings, weekdays, weekends) will help your counselor plan your program structure.
Your counselor will ask about household financial stability at a high level. You don't need specifics — just a general picture of where things stand and whether cost is a concern for you.
Your intake call is assessed individually. Your co-parent will have their own intake conversation. You don't need to coordinate this in advance.
