Healthy Relationships With Self And Others:
 
Healthy Relationships With Self And Others is a ten-week, thirty-hour program that replaces the previously offered "Successfully Single" and "Building A Healthy Relationship" seminars. Based on the premise that a healthy relationship with someone else requires the involvement of healthy individuals, the emphasis of the first few classes will be on Self, and then the focus will shift to Others later on. Sessions will consist of readings, brief lectures, "homework" exercises and group discussions/interactions. The learning objective is not only to better understand what constitutes a healthy relationship with oneself and with others, but to put those principles into practice.

This seminar offers information on the following topics, while providing opportunities for the participants to share their ideas and experiences with others:

  • Assessing ourselves, knowing who we are
  • Understanding the ingredients of emotional health
  • Identifying one's relational type
  • Creating strategies for achieving increased life satisfaction
  • Determining desirable characteristics in a variety of relationships
  • Understanding relationship stages
  • Establishing healthy boundaries
  • Developing the habit of healthy assertiveness
  • Improving our communication skills
  • Maintaining relationship vitality
  • Knowing when the relationship is working well, when it is not, and what to do about it
 
This seminar is led by Mark M. Monroe, M.A. LPC
The next seminar will begin Tuesday, April 10, 2012, in Room B-21 at St. Mattews Episcopal Church (See Map) from 7:00 pm to 10:00pm.
