Why A Workshop For Couples??
People from various immigrant/refugee communities in Winnipeg asked SERC to
help them deal with the issue of marriage (and family) break up. These workshops
are an opportunity for all of us to learn, discuss, reflect, and share information. The
information learned in these sessions can be shared with other community members
and friends.
Here are some things to think about as we begin these sessions:
Migrating to a new country causes many stresses and challenges.
Adapting (or not adapting) affects a couple’s relationship.
Change is part of the process of adaptation.
Every human being has the right to “grow” and change.
Canada offers many choices. It is important to have correct information about
the new culture.
The media is not a good place to get information about Canadian culture and law.
Some activities or behaviours that are acceptable in the home culture are not
acceptable – may be illegal – in Canada.
Parents are role models for their children.
These workshops are an opportunity for people to come together and learn from
each other.
Facilitators give information that participants can use if the information is helpful
to them.
This time together can be an opportunity for each person to think about
what changes she or he can make – it should not be about blaming others.
Making changes can be uncomfortable and challenging. But change can also be
exciting and positive.
Please note: The facilitators are here to provide education – they are not providing
counselling. If a participant would like to talk to a counselor, the facilitator will
refer him/her to the appropriate agency or service provider.
