It’s even harder if you aren’t equipped.
But it’s the hardest if you are the one being harmed.
Get the training you need to identify and respond properly to abuse.

Finding Clarity and Healing in Difficult, Confusing, or Stressful Relationships
Begins April 18th | Learn More Here
This just might be our most important course. More than 80% of individuals experience psychological abuse in their lifetime. Yet, most do not know how to identify this type of abuse or how to respond to destructive behaviors within intimate relationships.
They blame or doubt themselves, thinking “maybe it’s not abuse, it’s just normal conflict.”
Thus, this course provides tools and strategies for
- identifying the root of constant relationship conflict
- addressing volatile situations
- responding to those causing harm when you seek help.
Upon completing this course you will
- Know where you are on the conflict continuum
- Be able to formulate an action plan to begin the healing process
