FOCCUS Facilitator Training
FOCCUS (Facilitating Open Couple Communication, Understanding and Study) is an internationally used inventory designed to provide engaged couples and those working with them a PERSONALIZED PROFILE of what is needed in their marriage preparation process. It is not a test but a tool that is both a starting place for couple discussion and a map of what issues need time and attention, affirmation or problem solving.
Facilitator Training will be offered a couple times per year at the diocesan level to train new facilitators (clergy and lay) or serve as a refresher for current facilitators, to become more effective in their use of this tool with their engaged couples. To schedule training in your region, pool your efforts with neighboring parishes and contact Tim Roder.
FOCCUS is a product of FOCCUS, Inc., Omaha, NE. More information about FOCCUS as well as ordering information is available on line at http://www.foccusinc.com/ or by phone at 1-877-883-5422.
