Reunite with Your Child Through a Proven 4-Day Workshop
A whole-family problem needs a whole-family solution.
The High Road to Reunification Workshop gives you and your child the skills to rebuild your relationship in days, not years.

This Probably Sounds Familiar
If you are reading this, you have likely exhausted every traditional option.
You have been emotionally and physically cut off from your child for months or years.
You have been falsely accused, even though every accusation comes back unfounded.
Your judge knows the relationship needs repair and has ordered reunification therapy.
You have done everything the therapist asked. Nothing has improved.
You keep hearing: "Your child just isn't ready to see you," or "When they're ready, we'll continue joint sessions."
The judge orders a new therapist, a new strategy, more orders, and still nothing changes.
Why Traditional
Reunification Therapy Fails
Judges order reunification therapy expecting it to do what the name suggests.
Here is what usually happens instead: The therapist sees you alone. Sees your child alone. Waits until the child is "ready." In this family dynamic, "ready" never comes.
This approach is counterproductive. Reunification requires two or more people in the room. You cannot rebuild a relationship in a one-on-one session where the child decides whether to show up.
The Hard Truth
What you hear from therapists—"Just wait, be patient, they'll come around someday"—is like waiting for the earth to stop spinning. It is harmful to your children. Hundreds of parents have told the same story: their children continue to suffer while stuck in therapy that produces zero results.
Meanwhile, your child may be telling the therapist:
I don't feel safe at mom's/dad's house, with no real explanation.
My mom/dad only buys me gifts to buy my love.
My mom/dad doesn't respect my wishes.
My other parent has nothing to do with our relationship.
When asked to explain, the child gives vague, sometimes rehearsed answers.
The High Road to Reunification
Reuniting is always possible.
This is a skill-building coaching workshop, not therapy, that gives children and parents the tools to be in relationship again. It works in days, not months or years.
This is a 4-day program in a safe, supportive environment. Your child and you learn practical skills to move forward together.
The program works because this problem requires a specialized coaching and educational approach. Traditional therapy does not work when children have been cut off. This is something most families on this page have already experienced firsthand.
"Think of it like an intensive training program where you learn specific skills over a short period that change your circumstances. A proven protocol that gives children and parents the tools to reestablish the healthy, loving relationship they once shared."
Children surveyed at the end consistently report the program was fun, engaging, and they felt safe. Most children are relieved once they understand the authority of the courts and can step out of the middle of their parents' conflict.
The Four Phases
A structured, proven protocol for lasting connection.
Family Stabilization
A 4 to 5 day educational and interactive coaching workshop led by a trained High Road coach.
Family Maintenance
Your family works with a local therapist to solidify the skills learned. The parent who did not attend the workshop also learns the skills needed to reintegrate with the children.
Reintegration
A local professional reintroduces the non-attending parent with the child or children in a supervised, safe setting.
The New Family Dynamic
The maintenance care professional supports your child's ability to be in both parents' homes without symptoms returning.
Do You Qualify?
The workshop may be the right next step if you:
Are experiencing a severe emotional and physical cutoff, and your child is suffering emotionally, developmentally, or psychologically in several areas of life.
Are in a court process where the judge or other professionals have ordered solutions that have not worked, and may consider this option.
Recently got full custody because the judge deemed the parent-child relationship needs repair, but have no guidance or tools to make it happen.
Are willing to learn what it takes to adjust to the new family dynamic.
Why This Program Is Different
Meet Dorcy Pruter, CEO and Founder of the Conscious Co-Parenting Institute.
Dorcy solved the crisis in her own family using the same principles she teaches in the High Road workshop.
She was a child of this family dynamic. She was cut off from her father. She reunited with him and helped him reunite with his other children.
She also prevented alienation from taking hold in her own divorce. She shares custody of two daughters with their father. During the divorce, her alienating mother aligned with her ex-husband and tried to cut her off from her own children. Then the man she was dating after her divorce was also being alienated from his child. These experiences gave her a perspective she had never considered: what it was like to be her own father.
For over twenty years, since 2006, Dorcy has coached hundreds of clients on reunification strategies that work. She has studied, trained, and collaborated with some of the world's leading experts in high-conflict divorce and custody. She is a certified coach and trained mediator.
Leading experts told her nothing could be done about parent-child cutoffs. She refused to accept that. So she created the High Road to Reunification workshop.
Three Facts That May Have Paralyzed Your Family
"Parental Alienation" is not a diagnosable condition.
That is a fact. The debate over whether it is real or junk science misses the point. The pathology is not unique to psychology. A mental health professional properly trained in family systems and attachment theory can identify what is actually happening: emotional child abuse. Any other therapist will miss it and make things worse.
You are not a victim.
You have been victimized by this pathology. But you are not a victim. To rescue and protect your children, you must change how you see the problem, and yourself in it. You are your child's authentically loving and protective parent. The only way to protect them is to arm yourself with knowledge and a victor's mindset.
Properly educated professionals are your ally.
The majority of mental health professionals do not understand what is happening to your family. There has never been specific training in "reunification therapy" for mental health professionals. The goal is to give the mental health community the knowledge to rescue and protect children. You will need their support to do it.
What Reunited Parents Say
"High Road to Reunification was nothing short of a miracle. For the past four years I had been in the twilight zone. I was falsely accused of abuse, the courts took my child. I lost my child, my home, my job, and wealth fighting for my child.
The 4-day workshop accomplished what was never possible with the reunification therapy we participated in for almost four years. We were able to get the court to see what had happened, to order the proper protective separation, our family has gotten back on track, and I was able to get my child back. We are doing great!
We went from a bogus restraining order, failed supervised visits, failed reunification therapy, to full reunification in 60 days."
"Dorcy has a no-nonsense approach that will inspire you to take action and reunite with your alienated children. I was alienated from my children after my divorce and was blindsided when my daughter decided to stop coming with me and had shut me out.
When my daughter and I first started to reconnect I felt the natural pull of wanting to educate her, to find out why from her. Dorcy taught me that the why I was looking for was not to come from my child, and that the best thing for me to do was make it easy for her to be in relationship with me.
I am happy to report my children and I are doing well. Our reunification has been a wonderful experience for us both. My daughter is able to express her opinion and her experience, and I have been able to listen without taking it personally."
"I have reviewed the High Road Protocol and it is my professional opinion it contains the proper catalytic interventions in the proper sequence to effectively and efficiently resolve the issues surrounding negative parental influence on a child as a result of a cross-generational coalition of the child with one parent against the other.
The structure of the High Road protocol uses a variety of activities and structured interventions to activate and restore the child's normal-range and healthy emotional and psychological functioning. The protocol calls for a protective separation from the pathogenic parent so the child feels free to recover and learn the skills needed to reintegrate with both parents."
