The Marriage Preparation Program is designed to help couples successfully navigate the transition from engagement to a solid new marriage.
Based on clinical research into why some marriages fail and others succeed, this program provides a pre-marital workshop and on–line support for couples (telephone and internet) up to the end of the first year of marriage. An optional follow-up, Well Couple Check-Up, is also available to couples at a substantially discounted cost.
As a participant in the The Marriage Preparation Program you will have the comfort of knowing that you have access to qualified, professional marriage therapists who will support you during the crucial formative months of your marriage
Partners will primarily work with each other throughout the pre-marital workshop. A variety of educational methods will be employed, including couple discussion, experiential exercises, and skill practice.
The Well Couple Check-Up, is a clinical interview between couple and therapist arranged at the convenience of the couple between six and eighteen months after their wedding.

The Humancare™ Program carries a vision of marriage rooted in the values of our Judeo-Christian tradition. It assumes a life-long partnership of equals, which is lived as both a gift and a responsibility; a prized possession to be nurtured and protected above all else.
Enrolment for each group is limited and participants are encouraged to attend the program as soon as possible when their wedding date is set.
The registration fee is transferable to a different date when suitable notice is given, but is not refundable without forty-eight hours notice.
