RelateStrong | Trainings

RelateStrong | Trainings are a two-day experience for those who would like to lead a RelateStrong group at their church, school, or other organization. These groups help individuals and couples grow in their relational, emotional and spiritual health by teaching skills for emotion regulation, conflict resolution, and relational connectedness.

The power of RelateStrong | Training exists in that two dynamic experiences happen simultaneously. While learning how to become a healthier and stronger leader, the participant also gains insight into understanding and helping others. The Training gives the leader simple but profound skills to use in ministering to others with family, work, and relationship issues.
