Strengthening Marriage A Resource Guide For Couples Pdf
Training for Bishops As a marriage and family therapist and active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I was recently asked to help with a training meeting for some of our local LDS Bishops. It was a little surprising to find very few resources easily available to help our good Bishops–especially with issues related to counseling with Church members.
In requesting information and resources from a plethora of my LDS counselor friends and LDS Family Services friends, I was surprised that not many had a lot to offer (thankfully some did!). Most everyone did ask if I would please share with them whatever I found. Packet of Resources for Bishops So, after putting together a packet of resources for the Bishop’s training, I thought I should also make them a little more easily available in case other therapists are asked to do trainings, and if other Bishops may be interested in this information as well. Below you will find a list of possible resources for Bishops and their members with links to the pdf files or directly to website resources.
This guide is a resource for couples in the Strengthening Marriage course.
