Insights for Life helps to address the crisis of family breakdown by strengthening the relationships of couples and parents. By taking a proactive and preventative approach, it helps to equip them for the challenges and major transitions of life. Insights for Life is a registered charity and has set up different projects in the community which help couples and parents at the various stages of life.  Bob and Jess Read oversee the work of the organisation.

The As 2 become 3 project is aimed at first-time expectant couples.  It equips them with practical relationship skills to handle their transition into parenthood.  The project has been set-up to address the crisis of relationship breakdown and the resulting impact of undesirable social effects on children, health and crime.  Volunteers work with midwives through the antenatal classes of local hospitals, providing practical input and focussing particularly on new dads.  Courses are also run in Hammersmith focussing on the couple’s relationship and helping them to be aware of, and to plan for the changes and pressures they can expect when their baby arrives.  Information leaflets are distributed through three local maternity hospitals and GP surgeries, and a website is currently under development through which tips will be offered.  The project helps to provide the support a relationship requires when it is at its most fragile, thereby improving family life and increasing the likelihood for positive social outcomes.

Click & Clash is a course which helps couples to appreciate their differences and approach life together in a proactive, constructive and positive manner.  The world renowned Myers Briggs Type Indicator is used to help people discover their unique attributes, with a focus on applying this information to enhance their relationships with others.  This helps to build solid foundations, enabling relationships to withstand the challenges that life inevitably brings.
