Family and Relationship Workshop

As a result of economic, technical and digital developments as well as the COVID-19 pandemic, our family dynamics have been changing rapidly. These changes have been putting pressure on the family’s health and well-being, not to mention a great strain on family relationships.

For the past five years, uncoupling and divorce have been occurring at an alarming rate, the effects of which are crippling child-parent relationships.

Based on our workshop discussions with the participants and our counsellors’ extensive experiences, the following questions have become the focal point of our workshops:

  1. What are the most critical issues which impact a family's well-being?

  2. How does the family conceptualize well-being?

    (a) What are the dimensions or components of overall well-being?

  3. Does household well-being differ from the sum of the individual members' well-being?

  4. Which family members are the caretakers in the family unit?

  5. Why do various family members engage in health behaviours (preventative or curative)?
