Professionals who work with children and families can gain additional tools to help couples build healthy relationships during a virtual training in February.
Iowa State University Extension and Outreach is offering Healthy Relationship Education Training on Feb. 11, 2021, via Zoom. During the one-day program, professionals will learn how to use relationship education as a strategy to meet the safety, permanency and well-being needs of children.
“We know that children growing up in a home where there is a healthy, stable couple relationship have fewer behavioral and emotional problems and perform better in school,” said Malisa Rader, a human sciences specialist with ISU Extension and Outreach. “That is why healthy couple relationships are so important.”
