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.

- 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
