Successful relationships are highly valued by most Australians. Relationship education aims to support couples in their relationships at various life stages. This may be by helping couples become more aware of their relationship strengths and growth areas, setting goals for the next stage of the journey or learning some knew communication skills.

Pre-Marriage programs are suitable for all couples preparing for marriage, marrying with children from a previous relationship, or cohabitating. These programs are conducted in groups, or individual couple appointments can be made which use the Prepare/Enrich or FOCCUS inventories.

Relationship enrichment programs are also available in groups, or using the inventory Enrich. Workshop programs include Marriage Essentials, Separation Recovery and Living in a Stepfamily.

All programs are conducted in a relaxed, friendly and non-judgemental environment. The facilitators are experienced and qualified professionals who draw upon current research about relationships in order to support and encourage individuals and couples in their relationship happiness and success.
