The ShowMe Healthy Relationships Program offers FREE courses for individuals who would like to learn more about healthy relationships. The courses are designed to help those who are not in a committed relationship learn how to identify the qualities that make a healthy partner and how to communicate and maintain relationships, of all kinds. Participants also learn how parenting, finances, and personal well-being impact their healthy relationship choices. Program referral form.
What is ShowMe Healthy Relationships?
ShowMe Healthy Relationships (SMHR) is a 5-year project funded by the US Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families. It is a partnership between the University of Missouri Department of Human Development and Family Science, the University of Missouri, and Central Missouri Community Action.
Our free classes use Within My Reach, an 8-week program designed to help you learn safe emotional and physical relationship qualities, build healthy communication and conflict management skills, and understand your expectations and needs for future relationships. We also explore stepfamily life, co-parenting, commitment, and financial decision-making in relationships.
Our classes put you in charge of deciding what belongs in your future relationships, instead of sliding into common relationship pitfalls.
What Can I Expect to Get from These Classes?
Within My Reach is based on over 35 years of research on relational health and success. People who complete these classes report improved communication skills, conflict management, and positive connections not only in their intimate relationships but in all relationships in their lives. Within My Reach also helps people develop and maintain safer relationships. You will learn skills to build great intimate and personal relationships! Other benefits people have experienced include better parenting and co-parent involvement for those with children. Our love lives are not neutral- the decisions we make in all personal and romantic relationship attachments will affect the possibility of success in every other aspect of our lives.
Participants in the 8-week program will attend for 2 hours each week while working with a Facilitator and Program Coach to:
· -Learn how to identify the qualities of healthy relationships
· -Learn how to maintain healthy relationships (intimate, community, co-parenting, and in the workforce)
