​One of the most common questions we hear at Encompass is, “Do you only help couples?” I personally love answering this question because it gives me the chance to talk about our incredible program for individuals—and I just happen to be the facilitator!

It provides a practical ROADMAP for building strong communication, connection, and conflict resolution skills with the people you care about most.
