Relationship Enrichment Series Designed to Help Couples
| The Couples Center at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) is holding a three-part series designed to help couples of all ages revive their relationship and gain a better understanding of the issues they face throughout the length of their partnership.
The Relationship Enrichment Series will be held Sept. 28 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Oct. 7 and 14 from 6 to 8 p.m. in the lobby gallery of UAMS Medical Center. The cost of attending all three sessions is $250. Parking is free. Lunch will be provided Sept. 28 and light snacks will be provided at the two evening sessions.

The series is utilizing a new format, with the first workshop held on a Saturday, followed by two additional evening seminars. The Saturday workshop will introduce “The Roadmap of Relationships – Relationships as a Path of Growth,” “Naming and Working With Your ‘Inner Cast of Characters’” and “Communicating in Ways That Engage Rather Than Alienate.” The two evening seminars will talk about “Sexuality and the Mystery of Desire” and “How to Sustain Love Over a Lifetime.”
“The Relationship Enrichment Series has received rave reviews from couples at every age and stage of their relationship,” said The Couples Center’s director, Chelsea Wakefield, Ph.D., and a licensed clinical social worker. “A recent attendee told me, ‘I had no idea I could learn so much in such a short time. I wish my wife and I had known these helpful skills and perspectives at the beginning of our marriage!’”
