About the workshop

FOCCUS (Facilitating Open Couple Communication, Understanding and Study) is a one-on-one relationship education program for couples to reflect on their relationship in a private, confidential setting.

Couples pre-fill an online inventory, then work through their responses with a qualified facilitator who will guide them through tailored skill-building activities.

This private setting allows couples to discuss the strengths they bring, challenges they may face as their relationship evolves and shared goals.

FOCCUS and REFOCCUS are conducted by qualified and experienced facilitators, who have a sound understanding of relationship theory.

FOCCUS is delivered in three 50-minute sessions – all three sessions must be attended to complete the workshop.

REFOCCUS is delivered over five, 50-minute sessionsdesigned to be used by couples throughout their marriage and aims bringing awareness to major aspects of marriage and areas for further discussion.

 

Topics include:

  • Components of a healthy relationship (Gottman)
  • Reflecting on your life and families
  • Understanding and working with your personalities & differences
  • Healthy conversations and communication tools
  • Managing conflict and overcoming gridlock
  • Shared meanings and aspirations
