The COVID-19 pandemic has presented couples with countless new challenges while exacerbating pre-existing relationship issues. Relationships require work and attention in the best of times, so it’s no surprise that pandemic related stressors have impacted how you and your partner are communicating, setting boundaries, distributing household responsibilities and childcare, and tuning in to one another’s needs. In this presentation, Dr. Melissa Boudin, Psy.D., Clinical Director at Choosing Therapy, will discuss various issues that couples have been forced to navigate throughout the pandemic and provide coping strategies and techniques to help you and your partner maintain a healthy relationship either at home or long distance.

The VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance) Program will be offered for 2021. There will be no in-person appointments and all materials will be submitted via drop-off. One location for drop off will be Skylands Medical in Franklin. Calls will be made starting the 3rd week in January. For more information call 973-784-4900 ext. 204.
