No, this is not therapy. This program is an online relationship education program that is backed by decades of research. In couples therapy, couples work with a therapist to create an individualized treatment plan, and therapists sometimes ask deep questions. In our education program, all couples receive the same online program and the same series of coach calls that help to guide and encourage you along the way. Coach calls help you practice skills and remind you of what you learned online; coach calls are not therapy calls.
The Strong Couple project is a collaborative effort between the University of Illinois Extension and the Ohio State University Extension. Initially, all registrations will be handled through the University of Illinois Extension.
