Our Mission

Co-parenting Ikigai's mission is to stop the cycle of domestic violence in
the State of Missouri among former intimate partners with children. Our goal is to improve the co-parents' relationship so they can share the responsibilities of raising their children to live healthier and happier lives. We provide the following free services: mediation with the goal of completing a co-parenting agreement. CPI also assists with filing of the co-parenting agreement with the Missouri courts. We also provide a father-support group for those with a
domestic violence background.

Among the individuals we serve are fathers who fall into the following
categories: justice-involved, low-income, and United States Veterans.

In the Greater Kansas City Missouri area, we provide 48 hours stay at our
Time Out House for fathers who feel as they are about to commit an act of
domestic violence. Our goal is to reduce the acts of domestic violence before they occur among co-parents.

CO-PARENTING IKIGAI GOALS

DIV 203 of the Kansas City Municipal Court handles all domestic violence cases filed at the municipal level. Kansas City MO in 2020 had 5,058 and 2021 4,868 reported cases of domestic violence. The KC Domestic Violence court launched the Relationship and Violence Prevention (RSVP) docket. This is a diversion program for male domestic violence offenders, ages 18-24, charged with intimate partner violence. The offender and victim are provided services via classes and assistance. Co-parenting Ikigai steps in to work with both parents via mediation services. Our goal is to reduce the domestic violence recidivism rate, protect survivors from further domestic violence incidents, and improve their relationships so they can share the responsibilities of raising their children to live a healthier and happier life.
