PREPARE

This work can be hard on your relationships. Are you ready to build a plan for staying strong?

Strong relationships need deliberate maintenance.

This online training program is designed for the specific stress of first responder work and the impact it can have on your relationship.

When one or both partners serve as a first responder or helper, it’s especially important to nurture both your own well-being and your relationship together.

If you’ve been wanting to work on your relationship for awhile, but time, money, or the thought of talking to a stranger feels overwhelming, this is your answer.

  • Online training course: self-paced, accessible anywhere/anytime, no need to interact with anyone

  • 8 weeks

  • Less than 10 minutes each day

  • Less than the cost of one therapy session

Three Phases of Preparation

Each of the phases below will help you assess your own well-being and communicate it with your partner. We will work together to develop the skills and tools that you need to work as a team.

SECTION ONE: UNDERSTAND

First, we cover the core vocabulary and concepts that will be the foundation of your resilience routine. We can’t make a solid plan if we don’t speak the same language.

SECTION TWO: ASSESS

Next, we will examine the skills needed to evaluate your well-being. Assessing our own mental health can be challenging without the right tools and skills, we will cover three specific tools to help. There are also lessons that guide you through conversations to increase your connection and understanding.

SECTION THREE: ADAPT

Finally, we put it all together into a system that is built specifically for you - both as individuals and as a couple. You will learn how to understand your needs and build a plan that will actually help. More importantly, you will learn a method and system that flex over time to meet your changing needs.
