Free Relationship & Well-Being Resources for Utah Families
Staying connected with a loved one while they're incarcerated is hard on relationships, and so is holding things together at home while they're away. Utah State University Extension offers a set of free, research-based tools that many of our families have found helpful, whether you're a couple navigating distance, a parent doing this alone right now, or just looking for some support for yourself.
All free, all from a Utah-based, research-backed source:
💛 Relationship & Marriage Assessments – RELATE (for couples, normally a $40 value) and READY (for singles, normally $25), both free for Utahns.
https://extension.usu.edu/strongermarriage/…
💛 Free Self-Paced Courses – Over 100 short courses on personal well-being, parenting, and relationships. Go at your own pace.
https://extension.usu.edu/strongermarriage/…
💛 Free Webinars – Practical sessions on relationships and well-being topics.
https://extension.usu.edu/strongermarriage/…
💛 Disagree Better – Three free courses on navigating conflict and differences in healthier ways. Could be useful for family tension around a loved one's incarceration, or communication with your partner.
💛 Financial Wellness Resources – Free webinars and practical money management tools, helpful if you're managing extra costs like commissary, calls, or legal fees on top of everything else.
💛 Free Parenting & Family Classes – Online and in-person courses on parenting, stepfamilies, and couple relationships.
These are offered through USU Extension's StrongerMarriage.org program and are free for anyone in Utah. We don't run these programs ourselves, so if you have questions about a specific course or assessment, their contact info is on the site.
Take care of yourselves too. 💛

We Asked Ohio’s Death Row What They Think of Governor’s Death Penalty Reversal

Like Gov. Mike DeWine, most agreed the death penalty is broken and does not deter crime, but not always with the same reasoning.0 CommentsComment on Facebook
