About Us
Tricia Powe Books and More, Creative Coparenting Care and Specialty Stepfamily Support is not new -- it's just been around long enough to have its own lane.
Parents and stepparents are looking for solutions. Many end up in extended litigation. Stressful? Yes. Tricia Powe Books and More is designed to strengthen parent-stepparent couples and coparenting individuals. Does this include you?
History brief:
About your service provider, Tricia Powe:
1. Experience. Since 1990, I have given presentations to educators, social workers, parents, and stepparents like you.
2. I understand the complex nature of second marriages with children from past relationships.
3. Personal insights: As a lifetime stepfamily member, I have compassion for the inner struggles of children, parents, and stepparents.
4. Professional balance: I met collaborative attorney and mediation pioneer Woody Mosten in 1998. Throughout my training, he gently changed how I viewed mediation and I knew it was here to stay.
5. I am proud to be a cutting-edge program creator, stepfamily life educator, and advocate for children, blended-family success, and fair coparenting practices.
Whether or not one agrees, awareness of malicious behaviors like Parental Alienation matters to family outcomes and service quality.
I am aware and do not ignore red flags. I address the signs and symptoms through the program elements as needed.
Summed up: Personal insights with professional balance. This blend of experience is essential to have as the parents and stepparents I reach can sometimes feel judged and misunderstood by those around them.
The Couple Saving, Family Building Mission:
Mission brief:
Build capacity for coparenting and stepfamily stability through these four pillars:
Connect | Collaborate | Educate | Create
Connect subscribers, members, and 1:1 clients to additional resources.
Collaborate with like-minded professionals and other child and family advocates.
Educate those who want to learn about The Powe Approach Plus as another way to prevent and solve the conflict, reducing at-risk behaviors and maltreatment of children and spouses (current and former).
Create - I write scenario-based growth modules to encourage dialogue and inspire confidence. And families are encouraged to create shared memories through the use of the arts, sports, and more.
Dots and Lines. To help all the parents and stepparents turn painful experiences (dots) into opportunities for growth (lines).
To help parent-stepparent couples identify their family's blend blockers and address their challenges with an attitude of carefronting* instead of confronting.
And More.
UPDATE: TAFCASS - The Academy for Coparenting and Stepfamily Stability has been incorporated into the Subscriptions and Membership programs.
