Communication in Relationships

In relationships, effective communication is the avenue through which people express their wants and needs, listen to others to understand and get along overall. Communication is always a two-way process – both sender and receiver need to be actively involved. This session covers the basic principles for communicating with those around you to gain clarity and achieve respectful relationships.

This session looks at:
- components of communication, both verbal and non-verbal;
- barriers and roadblocks – why communication can break down;
- new skills in communication which include a shift in attitude;
- problem-solving techniques and opportunities to practise them.

This is an excellent introduction to understanding basic communication.
