Are the classes difficult?
While you will learn a lot in Family Expectations, the classes are fun and are not difficult. Trained workshop leaders use a mix of role-playing, games and open communication to teach relationship skills. Family Support Coordinators are also available to practice these skills with you as a couple during your office visits.
