OHEL Marriage Webinar Draws Hundreds
Addressing the Everyday Challenges of Marriage

Over 200 participants from New York to Los Angeles, Toronto to Israel attended OHEL’s recent live and free Webinar “Enhancing the Marital Relationship”.

Leading OHEL marriage and family experts Dr. Hindie M. Klein and Simcha Feuerman, LCSW-R provided both professional insights into the spousal relationship and practical steps to uplift any marriage. The “12 Transformational Tools to Defuse Marital Conflict" that were presented were based on Rabbi Feuerman's new book "Marriage 911", which he co-authored with his wife, Chaya Feuerman, LCSW-R.

Dr. Hindie Klein, OHEL’s Director of Clinical Projects, commented that “the number and diversity of attendees- from spouses to mental health professionals, and from geographical locations around the globe- reflects a universal understanding of the increasing everyday challenges that can strain any good marriage. To see such proactive engagement by couples and professionals is highly commendable”.

Some of the tools discussed included how to properly manage anxiety, and how to root out passive aggressive behavior.  Another key tool emphasized was never turn down an apology, as well as to take full responsibility for your part of the problem.

Simcha Feuerman, OHEL’s Director of Operations, conveyed that “with over 44 years of experience in the community, OHEL is the "go to" source for expertise and experience in mental health, and now via the web, is reaching an audience far and wide.”

For those that missed the live webinar, the entire session was recorded, and is live on ohelfamily.org.

OHEL typically presents at least one Webinar a month that is LIVE and FREE and on November the 19th, OHEL will be presenting their next webinar, which will address the needs of caregivers in the sandwich generation. You can register at: www.ohelfamily.org/webinar
