THE IMPORTANCE OF PARTICIPATION IN PREMARITAL COUNSELING OR TAKING A PREMARITAL PREPARATION CLASS

Written by Michael Nackashi, DPG Psychology Student Intern

There is no doubt that marriage is one of the most demanding relationships that we commit to in our lifetime.  It is a commitment that requires attention and effort in order to enjoy its exciting and lasting benefits.  However, it is not just attention and effort that’s needed, but attention and effort that is focused in the right direction.  With the divorce rate on the rise, many couples are curious as to how they can set their marriage up for success.

Most couples favor the idea that their love will get them through hard times; however, it’s almost the opposite.  Couples need to develop good communication skills that help them face adversity so that their love for each other doesn’t get buried underneath trivial problems and false perceptions.  The best way to kick-off a successful marriage is not by having the perfect wedding, but by being properly prepared.

Participating in a premarital preparation course is a responsible first step toward a healthy marriage.  This preparation course helps couples understand their partner more thoroughly by doing fun and interactive exercises.  These exercises teach couples essential skills like communication, problem solving, decision making and effectively handling conflict.  Communication is a skill that is strongly focused on in these courses, it is important to understand your partner’s communication style so that misunderstandings can be avoided.  A couple should not let their love be compromised by gaps in communication and unresolved conflict; these skills fill those gaps and sort the conflict so that more time can be spent enjoying a long-lasting marriage.

Obviously, if a couple decides to take their relationship to the next step with marriage, they are more than willing to make an extraordinary effort; premarital preparation courses focus that effort in the right direction.

When a student makes a threat at school what do you do

When a Student Makes a Threat at School, What Do You Do? When a student makes a threat within a school environment, it’s a critical moment that demands a swift, comprehensive, and nuanced response. As psychologists, it’s clear that such situations are complex and involve numerous factors, including the mental health of the student, the safety of the school community, and legal considerations. Here are key steps schools should take in response to a threat: Immediate Action and Assessment
Ensure Immediate Safety: The first priority is to ensure the safety of all students and staff. This may involve securing the area, notifying security personnel, and possibly even a temporary lockdown, depending on the nature and severity of the threat. Evaluate the Threat: It’s essential to quickly assess the credibility and specificity of the threat. This involves determining whether the student has the means, motive, and opportunity to carry out the threat. Professionals trained in threat assessment should be involved in this process.
Involving the Right Resources. Mental Health Evaluation: A critical next step is to have the student evaluated by a mental health professional. This evaluation can help determine the underlying issues contributing to the threat, such as emotional distress, psychological disorders, or external pressures. Collaboration with Law Enforcement: In cases where the threat is deemed credible and specific, it’s crucial to involve law enforcement agencies. They can provide additional security, guidance, and ensure that any legal requirements are met.
