FMY’s Couples Team train volunteer facilitators from across the city to deliver couple relationship courses and programmes in their own venues and communities.
Our in-house team of Couples in Crisis support couples are a varied group but all have come through relationship crises of their own and survived! They complete 20 hours of specific training and attend regular supervision sessions. Our greatest qualification is understanding what it’s like to go through relationship difficulty whether that has come with the birth of a new baby, through financial difficulty, overwork or an affair.
The Couples Team believe that relationships can be transformed. With support, simple skills such as effective listening, resolving conflict, working through forgiveness and expressing our love effectively, can restore a relationship that is “on the rocks”.
However, we also recognise that some couples need expert help from specialised agencies and we are always ready to encourage couples to get further help where it is needed.
FMY is also always looking to further our couples work and, through research and partnerships, develop new programmes and courses to strengthen and support the couple relationship.
