Practical relationship tools during "stay at home" order

By Lavern Nissley

Today's post grows out of felt needs we've been hearing from the community. Our client advocate, Abby Glaser, is doing regular Facebook Live check ins and is hearing requests for relationship resources and insights to cope with a variety of topics related to the pandemic and downstream effects.

So, beginning this Thursday morning, 9:15 am we're launching a series of brief (30-45 minutes) ZOOM live stream sessions on Tuesdays and Thursdays through April 16 to address what many of us are dealing with. Since our niche is healthy relationships, that's what we'll focus upon. However, we also plan to include an Ask the Experts segment and invite mental health, healthcare and school professionals to join us and address participant questions.

Lavern, Ronda and Abby will be the primary panelists throughout the series with others joining as we arrange their participation. Content will be pulled from proven and research-based programs we've been offering for years. All very practical and bite-sized!

Here is the tentative lineup:

• Thu, Mar 26 - 5 Love Languages, including kids
• Tue, Mar 31 - RINGS chat, including with kids
• Thu, Apr 2 - Asserting, listening, 4 Communication Danger Signs
• Tue, Apr 7 - Ask the experts - include counselor, doctor/nurse, school professional
• Thu, Apr 9 - Responding to stress, 6 conflict/stress animals - include kids!
• Tue, Apr 14 - Angry brain, hijack, timeouts
• Thu, Apr 16 - Parenting styles, 4 C's (Choices, consequences, consistency, compassion)

The FREE live stream sessions require brief registration ONE TIME, and then you can join in on any session. They will also be streamed to Facebook LIVE at Encompass616.
