WEBINAR FORMAT

The Prepare/ Enrich Assessment has been helping couples identify and understand their strengths and build on growth areas for 20 years. This tool is evidence based and has helped more than 4,000,000 couples prepare for marriage or enrich their relationship. The assessment itself has been proven to improve relationship satisfaction; and certified facilitators including professional counselors and therapists, lay counselors and ministry leaders, and pastors have been able to encourage couples through this tool.

P/E is one of the most widely researched assessment tools. This tool will allow you to quickly gain insight into the couple’s relationship to help you to know where to start and to enable you to focus your time on what the couple needs. It’s usefulness extends beyond premarital work to working with long established couples who need to revitalize their relationship.

The assessment, evaluates satisfaction levels in 12 relationship categories and gives them personalized insights into relationship dynamics, commitment levels, personality, spiritual beliefs, and family systems.

Upon completion of this training, you will be certified to use the P/E tool with couples with lifetime access to the website and facilitator tools.  You will also have skill building exercises to use with couples. Once you register and payment is received by us, we will email you instructions and the link to join us on training day.

**For the state of MN, this tool used in conjunction with 13 hours of premarital counseling qualifies couples for a $70 discount on their marriage license.
