A 4–6 hour experience for individuals or couples to learn the foundations of RelateStrong and apply them to their own life. Attendees learn skills for emotion regulation, conflict resolution, and relational connectedness, and leave with practical tools for personal growth.

RelateStrong | Trainings
A two-day experience for those who want to lead a RelateStrong group at their church, school, or organization. Two things happen at once — you become a healthier, stronger leader while gaining insight into understanding and helping others. Completing the Training makes you a certified RelateStrong Leader, qualified to facilitate the 8-week curriculum in a small group setting. Advanced degrees in psychology, counseling, or theology are not required.
