This 12 session Chinese Language Relationship Skills Training Curriculum has integrated the active ingredients of several state of the art empirically validated therapy approaches, such as CBT, DBT and EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy). The JTI Curriculum includes 12 DVDs, Leader’s Manual and Participants’ Workbook. JTI focuses on developing insights regarding intrapersonal and interpersonal dynamics, enhancing communication and conflict management skills. The goal is to equip Chinese mental health professionals and paraprofessionals to reach out and serve millions of Chinese people in need (especially for those who normally have difficulty accessing mental health resources due to cultural stigma, financial difficulty or the lack of trained Chinese people helpers). Over 20,000 facilitators in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Europe, South Africa, Canada and USA have received JTI facilitator’s training, and through the small psychoeducation groups they conduct, JTI has already reached thousands of Chinese families. All JTI group participants are encouraged to focus on their own personal growth rather than changing others, develop emotional intelligence, learn relationship skills, and seek professional psychological services as needed. Everyone has power to hurt or to heal others, good intention is not equal to good impact and Love can be Learned. Listening is Loving, Empathy is Healing. To Love is to Bring Out the Best in Each Other. Let's learn to be students of life, for life.
