One More Couple Needed for Communication Workshop
Sorry to post this again -- but I'd REALLY like to attend this workshop. DH and I went through a really really rough patch - we're getting better, but I think a workshop like this will help "normalize" our situation and give us some solid pointers to keep us on track. If anyone at all is interested, please FM. Thanks!!!!
Communication for Couples A Workshop to strengthen the marriages of couples who have a child with special needs
This three hour workshop will explore in depth the special challenges of couples who have a child with special needs. Participants will learn how to strengthen their connection to one another with improved communication skills and techniques, to focus on positive interactions, and to make time to have fun with one another. Particular emphasis will be placed on the difference in communication styles of men and women and how to deal with alternative views of parenting. Practical advice will also be offered to help couples learn how to stop fights, recover from arguments and find ways to open their hearts to one another.
This workshop will be led by Victor J. Goldman LCSW and Carolyn Schwartz Ph.D, a married couple who each have over 35 years working with couples and families. They also have been teaching ballroom dancing to couples for the past 15 years. Carolyn is a clinical psychologist who has 35 years working with children with special needs, adolescents and adults. She was the co- founder of the Maryhaven Pre-school, which served children with developmental delays. Victor is a clinical social worker with 35 years of experience working in the Port Jefferson area specializing in helping couples. In addition to his clinical practice, he is the co-founder with Father Francis Pizzarelli of the Community Alliance of Northern Brookhaven Inc. (a group dedicated to promoting awareness of drug and alcohol abuse),
Cost: $75 per couple includes the cost of the book for the workshop Time: Sunday, February 22nd from 11:30am-2:30pm Place: 1050 Hallock Avenue, Suite 4, Port Jefferson Station, N.Y. 11776 Space is limited to 10 couples Registration or Information: Please contact Victor Goldman by phone at 631-928-4114 or by e-mail to victor@suffolknymar riagecounseling. com .
