About this session

In this session, the facilitator will introduce participants to the role of appreciation in strengthening relationships and enhancing positive communication. Couples will engage in an interactive activity designed to practice expressing appreciation toward one another, with tools they can continue to use at home to build a lasting culture of appreciation in their relationship. 

Following the communication exercise, the facilitator will guide participants—using structured prompts—through creating an art-based representation of their appreciation for their partner. This experiential activity helps deepen emotional expression and reinforces appreciation as a core relationship skill. 

To conclude the session, partners will exchange their artwork, offering a meaningful visual expression of their appreciation for one another.
