About The Third Option Program
The Third Option is a skills-based program that helps participants build stronger, more fulfilling relationships. Each 14 session cycle covers a comprehensive set of topics (one topic each week) that people can use to develop better understanding, sensitivity and trust while also learning more effective speaking and listening skills.
The Third Option is based on Self Change… how can you make both your current and future relationships better? Come to the Third Option Class!
Why this is important…
The skills learned in the Third Option can and will bring couples closer together than they ever thought possible. However, the Third Option is NOT just for couples; individuals may attend alone. If you are divorced or are currently going through a divorce, chances are that you will be in another relationship down the road. If you are like most of us, you will take your “old baggage” into that new relationship. The Third Option is a program that can help us clean up that old baggage so that we don’t take it into other relationships and make the same mistakes over and over again.
The Third Option class combines skill-building workshops with sharing from couples that have “been there”, in combination with a support group component. The atmosphere is warm and caring.
