Do you have any courses on how to develop better communication between couples?
Back to FAQ List
Relationships Australia does offer courses on couple communication.
Some courses, such as the one titled "Communication", are for people wanting to communicate more openly and effectively. They explore patterns that block communication; increase a person's chances of being heard, teach how to identify when you are off track and skills to get you back on, and they teach how to increase intimacy with significant others and understand where you fit in.
Other courses such as "Self Esteem and Communication Skills" create an opportunity for participants to gain a better understanding of themselves and others, to enhance self esteem and self confidence, and practice communication skills. In the course participants will experience mutual support and will learn new skills, develop trust and take risks in relationships in the group through the process of discussion and practice.
Note: Courses such as "Building Better Relationships" or "Good Connecting", while not specifically focused on communication, will certainly touch on that area of concern and could be a good alternative for you if no specific communication courses are offered in your state or territory.
