Prepare-Enrich Program for Couples Counseling
Helping couples strengthen or salvage their relationship is no easy task. How do you encourage productive conversations? How do you address issues couples have if they are not yet aware of their problems? How do you identify their relationship strengths? What relationship skills can you teach to help couples resolve current issues and prevent future problems? How can you quickly understand a couple's needs and maximize your impact?
PREPAPARE-ENRICH by Life Innovations is a program designed to build stronger marriages and prevent divorce. The PREPAPARE-ENRICH Program enables counselors to identify the couple’s specific strength and growth areas, understand each other’s personality and hardwiring, teach them communication and conflict resolution skills, and help them resolve key relationship issues.
The Most Trusted Relationship Assessment
This program is suitable for dating, engaged, cohabitating, married, step and remarried couples, military, and transitional couples (over 50), as well as those seeking foster care or adoption preparation or when the primary focus is on parenting. It is fully customized, taking into account spiritual, culture, and other circumstantial aspects of the couple situation. The parenting version is particularly helpful for remarried couples with children who are struggling with stepfamily integration (blending).
