Founder, CCPI
Led by Dorcy Pruter
Dorcy Pruter is a certified coach with over 20 years of experience and the founder of Conscious Co-Parenting Institute, established in 2006. She is the creator of the High Road to Reunification Program, the #1 court-ordered family reunification program in the country.
CCPI's founder has lived this dynamic from every side, as the child who was cut off, and as the parent working to protect her own bond with her children. That lived understanding shapes every part of the methodology CCPI teaches today.
Why CCPI Exists
CCPI was founded in 2006 because no roadmap existed for families facing this specific situation. Most resources assume a standard divorce, an alienating co-parent, a custody order in dispute. But parent-child cutoff is different. It's a specific family pathology that requires its own system.
Our mission is to end the suffering for parents and children by providing the exact system to rebuild the relationship, without needing the other parent to change.
Built on Science.
Proven in the Field.
We don't use buzzwords. We use accepted constructs of professional psychology to identify and resolve the emotional cutoff.
The Framework
Everything we do at CCPI is built on Dr. Craig Childress's attachment-based pathogenic parenting framework.
The Standard
This is the clinical model that is replacing the outdated Gardner lineage in family court work.
The Results
The High Road to Reunification Program is the #1 court-ordered family reunification program in the country.
A Global Movement of Reconnection.
CCPI isn't just its founder. It is a global team of certified coaches and trained professionals dedicated to family reunification.
We have trained thousands of front-line workers, lawyers, and clinicians in our protocols.
We are here to lead the way back to the truth.
Reconnection Is Possible.
Even Now.
