How do people feel loved and express their love? How do relationships get into trouble? Love languages is a way to find your client’s relationship DNA. The five Love Languages are a fantastic KEY in assisting couples to resolve conflict in their relationship and dramatically improve their relationship at the same time. \nMost individuals live out of their Love Language\, however\, what if their partner’s love language is different. When this discord occurs\, people do not feel loved. When they feel the relationship is empty or the wrong Love Language is used\, relationships start to fall apart. \nMost couples do not understand what their partners Love Languages are. This is an opportunity to be trained in this relationship tool. This workshop is best suited to those involved in couple counselling. Within a few sessions focusing on Love Languages\, it can turn a couple’s relationship around. Working with Love Languages is solution focused and strength based. Problems are not the focus\, however\, they are reduced significantly in the process. Although love languages can stand alone as a therapeutic model it compliments other counselling practices such as motivational interviewing\, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy\, Core Value Therapy\, Acceptance Commitment Therapy\, and Mindfulness. For skilled therapists\, Love Languages can be successfully used with clients who have or are experiencing domestic violence and relationship abuse.\nThe workshop will cover: \n\nWhat are the love languages?\nHow to use the love language test\nHow to interpret and explain the results for your clients\nExplanation of where the relationships need to adjust.\n\n URL:https://frsa.org.au/event/love-languages-workshop-newcastle-nsw LOCATION:Oasis Hunter Training Room – The Salvation Army\, 67 Cleary Street \, Hamilton \, NSW\, 2519\, Australia CATEGORIES:Professional Training ORGANIZER;CN="Andrew%20King":MAILTO:info@groupworksolutions.com.au GEO:-32.9209476;151.7462061 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Oasis Hunter Training Room – The Salvation Army 67 Cleary Street Hamilton NSW 2519 Australia;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=67 Cleary Street:geo:151.7462061,-32.9209476 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20170326 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20170328 DTSTAMP:20260828T153832 CREATED:20170214T050208Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170214T051508Z UID:3685-1490490000-1490576399@frsa.org.au SUMMARY:Neighbour Day! DESCRIPTION:Relationships Australia is the home of Australia’s annual celebration of community – Neighbour Day. Neighbour day will take place on Sunday 26th March. \nNeighbour Day is Australia’s annual celebration of community\, encouraging people to connect with those who live in their neighbourhood. \nWhether through a cuppa\, a picnic in the park\, or a message of support; Neighbour Day is the perfect opportunity to say thanks for being a great neighbour and for being there when I needed you most. \n “I had always wanted to have a great connected neighbourhood but didn’t really know where to start. Neighbour Day gave me ideas\, tools and an excuse to get on with it. Most people say they have been meaning to get to know their neighbours\, but many don’t get around to it. Neighbour Day gives a time frame and a sense of urgency.”   Neighbour Day 2016 host \nWhen?\nNeighbour Day is celebrated on the last Sunday in March every year with the aim of fostering strong personal connections that last the whole year round. Every day can be neighbour day. \nThe annual theme for Neighbour Day 2017 is: The Importance of Social Connection for the Elderly. \nIn 2017\, Neighbour Day falls on Sunday 26 March. \nWhy?\nThe principal aim of Neighbour Day is to build better relationships with the people who live around us\, especially the elderly and vulnerable. Neighbours are important because good relationships with others can and do change communities. Social connection also makes us feel better as it helps prevent loneliness\, isolation and depression. Neighbour Day brings together like-minded people\, resources\, and organisations to grow stronger\, well connected communities. \nWho?\nResponsibility for Australia’s Neighbour Day is about everyone; every person\, in every community. We want to work with individuals\, families\, neighbourhoods\, communities and organisations to help grow Neighbour Day\, so that we can all live the in communities that are welcoming\, kind\, and supportive.  More…  \nResponsibility for Neighbour Day was assumed by Relationships Australia on 1 January 2014. The wonderful thing about Neighbour Day is that it’s a community movement; and it is communities that help to spread the word about Neighbour Day and join in Neighbour Day celebrations. \nRegistering your Neighbour Day event \nWe encourage everyone organising a Neighbour Day event\, or planning on doing something neighbourly\, to register your action.
