The Governor's commission on Marriage and Family recently trained 75 individuals across the state to offer the Prevention and Relationship Enhancement Program or PREP training for Free to couples across Utah. Two educators from PERC were trained and will begin offering the class in early fall.

Frequently asked Questions:

What is PREP? PREP (Prevention and Relationship Enhancement Program) is one of the most comprehensive and well-respected marriage enhancement programs in the world. PREP is a skill and principle based curriculum designed to help partners say what they need to say, get to the heart of their problems, and enhance their marital bonds.

Who should Attend? Engaged, newlywed, or experienced couples. Discussions will focus on factors that contribute to successful marriages.

Are the Workshops for couples in trouble? No. These workshops are not therapy sessions, but education classes that focus on insights into more loving and growth filled relationships.

What topics will be covered?

How to nurture lasting love.		How to promote the sense of being a couple.
How to talk as friends.		How to shut out life's hassles and just be a couple.
How to communicate and solve problems.		Why genders disagree differently, and how to    better communicate with each other.
How to handle conflict and disagreement.		How to have more peace and less conflict in your marriage.

Will we be expected to share our concerns and problems with others in the class? No! In fact, it is discouraged. The workshops will focus on learning and applying new skills. Problem solving will happen at home after you have learned the skills, not in the class with everyone else.
