Relationship Workshop to Focus on Communication, Problem-Solving Skills for Couples

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- The UB Psychological Services Center in Park Hall on the UB North (Amherst) Campus is offering a three-hour relationship workshop to help couples improve their communication and problem-solving skills.

The workshop will be held in the center, located in Park Hall on the UB North (Amherst) Campus, from 6:30-9:30 p.m. on April 10 and repeated from 9 a.m. to noon on April 13 and from 6:30 p.m.-9:30 p.m. on April 18.

The workshops will help couples learn the sources and consequences of relationship stress and how they can enhance their partnerships through the use of better methods of communication -- careful listening, discussion instead of argument, conflict-resolution techniques and compromise.
