Divorce Prevention Program
The Divorce Prevention Program is a four session program to help you and your partner: 1) understand yourselves and your relationship better; 2) learn skills which can help you deal with the normal stresses of marriage and family life. The program is designed for couples who want to learn how to manage problems now, before they become a threat to the marriage. The Divorce Prevention Program is not designed for couples already at a crisis point in their marriage. If your marriage is currently in crisis, you would be more likely to benefit from standard marital therapy.The Divorce Prevention Program consists of four 90 minute couple sessions, usually scheduled about two weeks apart. Although the program is adjusted to the needs of each individual couple, the following are usually included: 1) discussion of your relationship history and your families of origin as a means to gain new insights and awareness about your strengths and work areas 2) a computer scored questionnaire called ENRICH, which points out similarities and differences in your attitudes and ideas about communication, children, sex, money, gender roles, etc. 3) instruction in basic communication and problem solving skills and supervised practice in applying those skills to real problems. Depending on your needs, time may be spent helping you understand how differences in psychological type (personality) are affecting your marriage, how to parent better and to cooperate as parents, how to enhance couple intimacy.
How much does the program cost?The cost of each 90 minute session is $150. The scoring fee for ENRICH is $30. Total cost: $630.
