Relationship training: Faith leaders in Lorain County are eligible for a free relationship education training, called PREP, on May 17. The program is designed for faith leaders who teach or minister to groups within their faith. PREP, the Prevention and Relationship Education Program, is a curriculum on healthy relationships, designed to be offered to groups. With the training, faith leaders can add this valuable option to their religious education courses. Participants in the PREP Workshop Leader Training will be able to teach classes on the role of physical, emotional, and commitment safety in creating a healthy relationship, as well as the “Three Keys to Success” to making decisions and improving relationships.
