Recruiting couples for our"Next
Step Coaching" program has been
challenging since we change the
Program Challenges O Complete format of our program in year 2.
X Ongoing One reason is the increased
❑ Incomplete popularity of our one day 8 hour
seminars. We do a brief
presentation at the end of the
seminar about our mentoring
program and send around a signup
sheet for participants who would be
interested in getting more
information. However, most people
are emotionally and physically at
that point so they are unable to
process the information given. To
address this we do send out cards
about a week later with similar
information on it. This brings up
another issue of not having a
stronger relationship with the
couples in the one day seminar that
we do in the 4 nights of program.
When we have a stronger
relationship with the couple they
will sign up for the intensive
coaching more readily. We are also
working to improve that situation as
well.

Success Stories
Teri was a long term meth addict and a part of the Weld County Drug Court program. Through the
program she came to a Within My Reach class. She took the tools and implemented them in her life. She
became one of our biggest recruiters to WOR. She eventually became the first official graduate of Drug
Court. She then took the PREP class with her live in boyfriend, in which she had a child with. They loved
the class and again implemented the tools to their relationship. Teri and her boyfriend had been living
together for years before they took our program but because of it they approached our facilitator to marry
them. He then met with them and took them through a premarital inventory (prepare/enrich) and
performed their wedding. Through the BHM program and other county programs Teri was able to put her
life back together and become a healthy part of our community.
Paulina and Andres have been together for 5 years and just recently celebrated their 5th wedding
anniversary. They have three grown children and four grandchildren.
They learned how to budget their money better, which subsequently allowed for them to start a savings
account. Paulina shared that she wanted to move up in her company, perhaps return to school. Andres
shared that he wanted to learn to read and write in both
They have shifted from not communicating to communicating about everything from the budget to their
date night. They feel more like a team, and feel confident they will continue to utilize the skills learned in
all the events they participated in through the Building Healthy Marriages program.

From October 1, 2010 through March 31, 2011, 10 teens participated in two Love Notes Seminars.
They completed a mini Knowledge and Satisfaction Survey (mini KSS) at the end of the Seminar. The 1-
day classes were offered at Waypoints Church. The average class size consisted of 5 participants.
Of the young adults, 5 (50.0%) were male and 5 (50.0%) were female. Sixty percent(n= 6) were
single and 40.0% (n= 4) were in a relationship but not married. Thirty percent (n= 3) of the
participants were White, followed by 60.0% (n= 6) who identified themselves as Hispanic. The other
participant (n= 1) identified as multicultural. The average age of the participants was 15 years. The
participants completed on average 10 years of education.
The teens completed a mini Knowledge and Satisfaction Survey (mini KSS) at the end of the 8-hour
event. Table 23 contains the results from the satisfaction and knowledge portion of the mini KSS. Ninety
percent of the participants (n= 9) who completed this question indicated that they would recommend

educators tried to make the program fun, were easy to understand, had a great attitude, were easy to
relate to, and were willing to share personal experiences. The negative comments that teens provided
were that educators were boring and rushed at times. Comments for improvement included having more
activities, more interaction, and allowing teens to get to know each other better. Most of the other
comments emphasized that the program was cool, that it was good and will help a lot, that it was a great
experience, and that it was very educational. No comments were mentioned regarding additional
services.

Results from Public "Within My Reach" Singles
Relationship Seminars (WMR)
One 8-hour Public'Within My Reach" Relationship Seminar was offered on Saturday, January 22,
2011 at Waypoints in Greeley and was attended by 19 participants. The participants completed a mini
Knowledge and Satisfaction Survey (mini KSS) at the end of the 8-hour event.Table 22 summarizes the
results. Sixteen participants (84.2%) who completed this question indicated that they would recommend
this seminar to others.
Of the participants, 8 (42.1%) were male, and 11 (57.9%) were female. Seventy-nine percent of the
participants (n= 15) were single, 5.3% of the participants (n= 1) were in a relationship but not married,
and 15.8% (n= 3) were married. Seventy-four percent(n= 14) of the participants who answered this
question were White, followed by 15.8% (n = 3) who identified themselves as Hispanic. The average age

As indicated by Figure 21, participants in Within My Reach gained the most knowledge in the
areas of understanding issues, events, and hidden issues; becoming aware of my expectations for my
relationships; and knowing the hidden issues in my relationship. Participants reported gaining the least
amount of knowledge in the areas of reaching an agreement when working on a problem and de-
escalating conflict. Overall, the areas in which participants reported gaining the least knowledge were
related to communication during a conflict. Perhaps this is due to the fact that participants attended the
seminar individually; consequently, the participants may have felt less confident in their conflict resolution
skills because they were not able to practice with a partner.

Additional Comments from the WMR Mini KSS
The mini KSS also allows participants to provide comments about their experiences. The following
are participants'comments regarding the Within My Reach Seminar.
Positive responses to the question, "What did you like the most about Within My Reach?"
included,"The focus was on me and my behavior,""The educators were great in helping us relate to the
material,"and "I liked that the advice was relevant and applicable. I also liked that there was research
based data backing up claims." Negative comments about the program included, "Not enough time for
everyone,""Would have liked small group discussions and shorter sessions,"and "One participant took
the floor at the end and began to go on and on."
What participants liked most about the educators included their use of humor and engagement,
their ability to relate, and their experience and knowledge. No negative comments were made about the
educators, and the only two suggestions for improving the program were to show fewer videos that were
longer and make the seminar a little bit shorter. Only positive comments were made when asked about
"other comments."One participant stated, "Everyone was awesome,"and another participant stated, "I
can use this info in all areas of my life, very useful!"As was the case for other seminars, participants
expressed a wish to have other services that would include children, for example, "A class for kids would
be golden." Other services that could be helpful included, "Anything to do with counseling,"
"Communication, abuse, grieving,""Family class, parenting class,""Group process or group therapy,"and
"More single classes."

Additional Comments from the 8 Hour PREP Mini KSS
In addition to inquiring about levels of satisfaction and knowledge gained, the mini KSS also
encourages individuals to make comments on their experiences. This section includes a short summary of
the comments made by participants.
When participants were asked what they liked most about this seminar, comments included, "A
chance to actually practice what was learned and discuss with partner,""Amazing tools to make my
marriage better and stronger,""Common ground to be with partner to discuss relationship,""Conflict
resolution skills, learning to talk about it and then solve problem,""Easy techniques to use daily,""How
to talk with my wife,""I liked all the different skills that were taught to positively tackle problems and
have conversations,"and "I liked the interactions with other adults."Other positive comments were
made regarding the food, the fun/easy-going/comfortable atmosphere that seemed nonjudgmental and
nonthreatening, conflict resolution skills, that the program was educational, and the workbooks. Some of
the participants were unsatisfied with the length of the seminar; they felt it was too short and that some
of the topics were rushed. Other participants felt it was too long. Additional negative feedback included,
"Crying in public,""Discussing personal issues in a public setting,""Kept getting interrupted by
instructors,""Simplicity of materials,""Little more interaction," More one on one with couples,""No
active learning segments— lot's of talking no doing,""Not enough group discussion,"and"Not being able
to talk in depth about some of the true items in the workbook."In addition, negative comments were
made about the cool temperature of the room, having to travel to the event, and no child care being
offered.
When asked for feedback on the educators, positive comments included, "Kept setting light and
open,""Attitude and spirit,""Competent,""Down to earth, with great concern about everyone's
relationships,""Easy-going,""Personable,""Easy to understand,""Energetic,""Funny and passionate,"
"Positive attitudes and knowledge,""Engaging,""Capable to answer questions,""Sensitive,"
"Entertaining,""Enthusiastic,""Friendly,""Honesty,""Welcoming,""Nonjudgmental,""Great life stories of
themselves really helped me to relate,""Added their own real life experiences, gave realness to event,"
and"Great enthusiasm and their respectful relationship modeled for us."Critical feedback was less
common but included concerns with organization and feeling rushed: "It felt rushed and skipped over."
Other negative comments indicated that educators interrupted during exercises, educators did not
participate equally, that they read the slides, and that they skipped around and interrupted the flow.
Feedback on what the educator could have done to improve the event included,
"One more class,""Been more organized,""Better slideshow/more videos,""Coordinate book and slides,"
"Could give more time for talking skills,""Focus more on enhancing relationships instead of fixing them,"
"Facilitate more interaction,""Give more time to complete activities,""Include more activities,""Less
material, more time to practice the really important stuff,""Maybe explain some activities more, a couple
of times we were lost,""More sharing of personal perspectives,"and "Provide more information on what
to do when you do not agree on a problem or cannot solve a topic."
Additional comments were both complimentary (e.g.,"This is a great course that everyone
should attend,""This was a great start to helping us get our marriage back on track,""People really come
together with some friendships,""Keep doing it, keep offering a helping hand to those who cannot afford
counseling,""It was the best class I have been to,"and "Grateful that our dollars are used for this.") and
provided clear directions for future improvement (e.g., "This should be more publicized to the
community, it is an awesome program for anyone,"and"I think it would be good to do a longer event
and more practicing activities.").
When asked about other services that would be helpful to participants and their families, a
number of participants indicated a wish for one-on-one counseling. Participants made such remarks as,
"Continued personal counseling for us as couples,""Further counseling one on one,"and "Individual
couples counseling." Continuing education in the following areas was mentioned: classes that focus on
specific topics learned during seminar, advanced classes, refresher classes, continued personal couples
counseling, family counseling, parenting, information on balancing marriage and kids, organization of
home and finances, Next Step Coaching, pregnancy counseling, and blended families.
Results from the Spanish "Within Our Reach" (WOR) Mini
KSS
Four 8-hour Public Spanish "Within Our Reach" Relationship Seminars were offered in the first 6
months of Year 5. Table 21 summarizes the results. Sixty-five percent of participants (n= 24)
participated in the 1-day event, and 13 participants (35.1%) completed the PREP course in 4 weeks with
four 2-hour sessions.
Of the participants, 14 (37.8%) were male, and 23 (62.2%) were female. Three percent (t-/= 1)
were single, 10.8% (n= 4) were in a relationship but not married, and 81.1% (n= 30) were married.
Ninety-seven percent (n= 36) of the participants were Hispanic, followed by 2.7% (n= 1) who did not
complete the question. The average age of the participants was 37 years. The participants completed on
average 11 years of education. Of the participants, 13.5% (n = 5) had a high school diploma only, and
29.7% (n = 11) completed education beyond high school graduation. Twenty-one participants (56.8%)
had less than a high school diploma.
The participants completed a mini Knowledge and Satisfaction Survey (mini KSS) at the end of the 8-
hour event. Table 21 contains the results from the satisfaction and knowledge portion of the mini KSS. All
participants (n= 37) recommended the 8-hour seminar to other couples.

Additional Comments from the WOR Mini KSS
When the participants were asked what they liked most about the Within Our Reach seminar,
response themes included learning steps for resolving problems, useful tools, the freedom to express
themselves as couples, and learning and practicing how to listen and be more patient. Negative
comments from the participants were minimal; most focused on the shortness of the seminar.
Additionally, one participant included the following negative comment: "Waking up old problems."
When participants were asked for feedback on the educators, they found the educators to be
good teachers, approachable, and professional. Participants spoke of the educators'"knowledge and
calmness when handling difficult conversations." The only suggestions for how educators could improve
the seminar included adjusting the length of the seminar(more hours and more classes). Other services
the participants suggested may be helpful included family programs and a program in which children
could also attend.

33% of the females reported having

In summary, MSI-R results indicate that about 60% of the couples in the sample reported
experiencing significant problems, as measured by the GDS, a global measure of relationship distress. In
addition, 62% of the couples reported extensive conflicts in the area of problem solving. Interestingly,
large differences in degree of satisfaction between males and females were found in the areas of
aggression, the time the couples spent together, family of origin, and conflicts over childrearing. Males
were more dissatisfied with their partner's aggression or intimidation and showed more concern than
females regarding the time the couples spent together. Females showed more concern than males
regarding the family of origin and the conflicts over childrearing. Of least concern to the participants was
dissatisfaction with children (See Figure 7.). Caution should be exercised when interpreting these
percentages, due to the small sample size (n= 20).

Relationships between Demographics and MSI-R Scales
Current literature indicates that a variety of demographic characteristics (e.g., ethnicity, partner's
age, education, age of children) contribute to marital satisfaction (e.g., Orathinkal &Vansteenwegen,
2007; VanLaningham, Johnson, &Amato, 2001). However, due to the small number of participants who
completed an MSI-R pretest in the first 6 months of Year 5, the evaluators did not conduct statistical
procedures to investigate whether or not there was a relationship between the various demographic
characteristics assessed (city, gender, employment, ethnicity, age, years of education, length of current
marriage, number of previous marriages, number of children, and hours worked each week) and the
scales of the MSI-R (Global Distress, Affective Communication, Problem Solving Communication,
Aggression, Time Together, Financial Disagreement, Sexual Dissatisfaction, Family of Origin History,
Dissatisfaction with Children, and Conflict Over Child Rearing).
