SELF-STUDY PROGRAM

When a classroom program is unavailable, when only a few couples are preparing for marriage at one time, or when individual premarital counseling is needed, a self-study approach is available using the Right Start Student Workbook CD. This CD is designed to help the couple achieve the same level of marriage preparation through mentored self-study as would be available in a classroom based program. It contains all the program materials, including the full texts of the presentations.

A couple works through the ten lessons while being mentored by a counselor or a mentor couple. The Student Workbook CD gives detailed instructions for finding and equipping mentors.

The Right Start Mentors’ Manual CD provides all the guidance needed by the counselor or mentors, and assists them in the evaluation of the couple’s written work, masters of which are included. It also contains the software for scoring the Sexual Attitudes and Understanding Survey and the R-Z Personality Inventory.
