Is this a group therapy experience? This workshop is psycho-educational and it is not therapy. There is some group discussion, but it is optional and only what participants are comfortable sharing. Is this workshop a way to meet up with other singles? This is not a singles mixer or dating event. This workshop is meant to help you learn skills to help you develop a healthy romantic relationship. What if I am in a relationship? Can I still attend? If you are in a relationship already, this can still be a helpful workshop for you. In addition to discussions around conflict, communication, and friendship, we will spend about 30-45 minutes discussing dating during this workshop. If you are in a relationship and your partner cannot attend, it can absolutely benefit you, but please know that the target audience is singles looking to build healthy, lasting relationships. Is this a lecture style workshop? It is part lecture, but it is also interactive! There will be role plays by the presenters, video clips, and both large and small group exercises. Registrants will have the opportunity to comment and share their own experiences.
