Rauemi whakataki hononga tangata

Here are some practical tools for you to use and keep in your wellbeing kete that support a healthy relationship. You and your partner can work through these as a couple or individually yourselves. You can use these tools to have a talk about your relationship and any changes you want to have. You could also talk about these with an NZDF support provider like a social worker, chaplain or health specialist or it could be from a counsellor outside NZDF to get further support for your relationship.

The 14 videos are set up so that you can follow them through in order (but you can also jump right in to a topic that interests you). The topics in viewing order are -

Some of them are longer as they have exercises that are demonstrated by a couple to help with practicing these with your partner while others are shorter with key takeaways.

The relationship coach who is providing this great information is Steven Dromgool. Steven has many years working as a relationship counsellor in Aotearoa NZ. We thought you might like to know a little bit more about him.
