Building Relationships Together
Research has shown that it is possible to make a relationship better than it is. The principles are that we need to increase the good things and decrease the bad. The good aspects of a relationship are showing love, forgiving one another and being committed to each other. The bad aspects are poor communication, especially speaking with contempt and being unable to negotiate conflict.
Aim of Module: To support the relationships between prisoners and partners during the prison sentence and reduce recidivism by building up and strengthening them as a couple.
