Marriage takes work.
Life gets busy.
Communication gets complicated.
And sometimes couples find themselves feeling more like roommates than partners.

The good news? Disconnection doesn’t have to become the new normal.

We'd love to invite you to join us for our new marriage workshop, UNIFIED.

This 6-week, faith-based and interactive marriage workshop is designed to help couples reconnect, communicate with greater understanding, and strengthen the friendship at the heart of their relationship.

Led by New London Counseling Center therapists and grounded in the research-based Gottman Method, couples will learn practical tools they can use in everyday life to:

Communicate with greater understanding and respect
Navigate conflict without losing connection
Strengthen friendship, trust, and intimacy
Build skills to help your marriage weather life's challenges

Whether you're newly married or have spent decades together, UNIFIED offers a meaningful opportunity to slow down, invest in your relationship, and grow closer—together.*

October 22 & 29, November 5 & 19 and December 3 & 10

Guaranteed to meet new contacts...and...build business relationships at the SCCCC Network at Noon!

Establishing top of mind awareness is a key strategy when done properly. One of the most important elements - and one of the most overlooked - to getting the biggest bang for your networking buck is to make sure your face and your message get in front of the same-and the right-people on an ongoing basis.

SCCCC operates as a catalyst to ensure you meet people and expand your spheres of influence. Ultimately, it is not about who you know...but who knows you. Enhance your professional skills...give your 30-second elevator pitch, but remember, you only have 30 seconds! As a courtesy to our host, please pre-register.

EVENT SPONSOR:

Befriending Your Nervous System: Stress, Story, and the Small Business Owner

Running a small business is inherently stressful — but stress itself isn't the enemy. This talk explores the science of how our nervous system works to keep us safe, and how the same physiological arousal that fuels anxiety can be reframed as excitement and focus. Drawing on psychology research on stress, emotion, and resilience, we'll cover practical ways small business owners can shift their relationship to pressure, respond to challenges with more clarity, and manage the daily stress of ownership without burning out.

CANCELLATIONS MUST BE RECEIVED AT LEAST 72 HOURS PRIOR TO THE EVENT OR PAYMENT IS STILL REQUIRED.
