Eagle Ranch to host workshops focusing on blended families

Eagle Ranch, a Flowery Branch based residential children's program, will host a nationally-recognized expert on remarried families for two workshops in August.
 
Author, speaker and therapist specializing in blended families, Ron Deal, will lead the workshop titled "Becoming a Successful Stepfamily," on Friday, August 12 from 7-9:30 p.m. and Saturday, August 13 from 8:30 a.m-1 p.m.
 
The workshop is tailored for couples who have blended families, and will include practical advice and methods for managing relationships and building a successful family.
 
Founder and Executive Director of Eagle Ranch Eddie Staub, a recent guest on WDUN's Afternoon News Wrap, believes it is a great opportunity for newly married couples with children to learn as well as others.
 
"Single parents, couples that are dating with children, ministry leaders, pastors, really anybody that is impacted by a blended family is invited to attend the event," Staub said.
 
The cost of the couples' workshop is $65/couple and includes 2 workbooks, light snacks on Friday and breakfast on Saturday morning.
 
Prior to the event open to the public, Eagle Ranch will be the site of a Professional CEU Workshop with Deal on August 12.

Therapeutic professionals, ministers and others who serve blended families are invited to attend the workshop on Friday, August 12, from 8:15 a.m.-4 p.m. Entitled, "A Good Blend: Understanding and Counseling Stepfamilies," the workshop will explore principles from Deal's Smart Stepfamilies program and provide strategies to navigate the complex relationships involved with blended families.

The cost of the professional workshop is $80/person and includes a workbook, breakfast and catered lunch. The program is approved for 6 core hour Continuing Education Units for Georgia Licensed Professional Counselors, Licensed Clinical Social Workers and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists.
