Fresh Start for Women closed out the 2006 year with its final seminar “Developing Healthy Relationships”. The seminar was held December 9th at the Collins Hill Library in Lawrenceville, GA and was facilitated by Ms. Cathy Williams.
The seminar was focused on providing information and tips on how to not only develop a healthy relationship but also how to improve an existing one. Ms. Williams began the seminar by giving all in attendance a short quiz that could be used to measure the type of relationship participants were currently in. It also provided useful tips for identifying areas of a relationship that might require improvement.
Ms. Williams explained that relationships are constantly changing and therefore requires attention and work to evolve as the relationship evolves. She stressed the importance of open and honest communication. Interestingly this communication requires heavy doses of listening as well as talking.
Because Fresh Start for Women works closely with former victims of domestic violence a great portion of the seminar was dedicated to providing participants with key elements that could serve as warning signs of an unhealthy or potentially dangerous relationship. The response to the seminar was so positive that it will be repeated again in the first quarter of 2007. Please visit the FSFW Calendar of Events for date and time.
