SouthShore Couples & Family Counseling Center offers the following workshops on and off-site. Workshops are presented in the evenings for one and a half hours. 

BASIC STRATEGIES FOR REMARRIED FAMILIES

This workshop will explore the dynamics in “Stepfamilies.” There will never be a perfect blending of two families, such as the “Brady Bunch.”  A stepfamily functions much differently than a traditional one.  This workshop offers strategies to help families achieve a peaceful transition by developing skills particular to their family success!

COPING WITH LOSS IN THE FAMILY

The death of a loved one may be one of the most severe traumas we encounter.  A wide array of emotions can be experienced, such as: sadness, anger, anxiety, guilt and despair.  This workshop is designed to educate people experiencing grief, and those around them, regarding the effects of loss and how to cope.  Recognizing the basic phases in the bereavement process can help those experiencing loss understand their emotions during this time.  This workshop will focus on the principle process of grieving, techniques and skills used to promote self-help with loss, and learning to recognize indications for when professional help may need to be sought.  Acceptance of the loss means gaining a perspective – a change of self- a new sense of self and what you can do with your life!

COMMUNICATION SKILLS FOR COUPLES

People often agree that communication is an important element in any relationship.  What is not commonly understood is how to improve communication in a relationship, particularly when partners have different “styles” of relating.  This workshop explores strengths and obstacles in communication styles, gender differences, and encourages couples to build on what they do well together.
