What is Family Enrichment?
Families often struggle with overcoming the obstacles to foundational relationships. Husbands and wives, parents and children, siblings, and immediate family and extended family alike encounter seemingly insurmountable challenges.
Our program employs the case study methodology, commonly found in
business and law school classrooms, to examine scenarios relevant to family
life. We analyze the complex and sometimes daunting situations faced by families to better understand their causes and identify their resolution. While the case studies are instructive, the experience and wisdom from the parents
participating prove invaluable. Guided by an experienced moderator, who is also a parent, couples strengthen their unity and renew their commitment to one another and their families.

4. All groups meet in a general session with a Moderator that directs
the discussion and gives a brief presentation.
