Workshops
Concurrent Workshops are included in your registration fee. (Pre-Conference Institute trainings are subject to additional fees.)
All workshops are open to all attendees. We offer Concurrent Workshops in 3 tracks: Couples, Professionals, and Faith-Based. The tracks do not limit who can attend; they are simply to help identify what you might expect from each workshop.
- Couples: Designed for couples to attend as a couple. Experiential in nature, these workshops include opportunities for couples to turn “knee-to-knee” and discuss how the topic impacts their relationship.
- Professionals: Information, research or curriculum will be presented that can be used by therapists, social workers, relationship coaches, mentors and Better Marriages leader couples. The workshop may be lecture or experiential. Though couples may attend, the workshop can be geared toward individuals.
- Faith-Based: Addressed from the perspective of a particular faith tradition. These workshops are geared toward faith-oriented individuals or couples and those working with couples in a faith-based setting.
