PREPARE/ENRICH PROGRAM

PREPARE
For premarital couples

PREPARE-MC
For premarital couples with children

ENRICH
For marriage enrichment or marriage counseling

MATE
For older couples getting married, seeking marriage enrichment or going through a large transition in their life.

The PREPARE/ENRICH program is designed to assist Counselors in working with premarital or married couples.

Clergy and Professional Counselors attend a day long seminar to learn how to use the program effectively with couples.

The first step in the Program is for the couple to take one of the inventories:

• PREPARE-       premarital couples
• PREPARE-MC  premarital couples with children
• ENRICH-           for married couples
• MATE-              for couples over the age of 50

The next step is to send the Answer sheets and $30.00 scoring fee to The Center, Inc. office. The results are summarized into a 15-page Computer Report.

The third step is for the couple to return for 3-4 feedback sessions.

The Inventories are comprehensive, diagnostically valuable and designed to generate a meaningful dialogue between the counselor and the couple.

The PREPARE/ENRICH Inventories have been scientifically developed to have high levels of reliability, validity and clinical utility.
