FOCCUS Program

FOCCUS is a questionnaire-based, pre-marriage education course for couples. Each partner completes a comprehensive questionnaire related to their relationship and future marriage, or long term relationship, with the assistance of a trained FOCCUS facilitator.

Private after hours sessions need to be booked well in advance.
