Phase I meets once a week for 3 hours for 30 weeks. The first class is an overview followed by several weeks of what abuse really is and its effects on everyone. Denial, emotions, “dirty fighting”, anger, and tools to resolving conflict are highlights of what is covered. The course then discusses why we do what we do; “life commandments”, “arrested development”, reactive lifestyles, and expectations for the different seasons of life for from multiple family backgrounds. From there, the course covers relationships; shame verses guilt, forgiveness, and communication. The last set of weeks pulls everything together showing us positive models for love; friendship, relationships & intimacy in a healthy family. Then Graduation!

Similar to a college course, materials include videos, hand outs, workbook, and discussion. Interacting with the same group of men or women for the duration helps everyone meet personal goals and form friendships that you’ll value for a lifetime!

We are constantly amazed at the breakthroughs and life changes that we witness. This class has the ability to bring you and your family to a new level! Restored marriages, families, and renewed relationships at work, with friends, and children are all part of the legacy of the Life Skills "Learning to Live, Learning to Love” course. It helps you become the person you have always wanted to be!
