Shared Parenting Study

The Taylor Institute for Teaching and Learning has been exploring shared parenting with women who have experienced domestic violence and who have children ages 0-4 in the provinces of Alberta, Manitoba and Ontario. 

They're seeking participants to share their experiences and will use the information to create a key stakeholder list to support recruitment for each province for our planned national study about shared parenting and domestic violence with mothers of young children, and the legal actors whose day-to-day practices are guided by the Divorce Act in Canada. To learn more, or to participate, visit their website.
