Hint of the Month - November 2002
 
Selecting the Right Inventory - Which Inventory Should We Use?

There are currently four inventories available in the Prepare-Enrich materials, and a fifth will soon be available.  

Administrators trained at a Prepare Training Day already have PREPARE and PREPARE-MC available to them, and a third additional resource will soon be available as an add-on resource.  This is PREPARE-CC (for use with cohabiting couples). 

Administrators who have attended an Enrich Training Day have ENRICH available, and they can purchase the MATE inventory as an add-on additional resource.

Some flexibility is needed here, but here are some general guidelines for inventory selection:

PREPARE  
Primarily designed for premarital couples not living together and intending to marry, or couples exploring the possibility of marriage.

PREPARE-MC  
Primarily designed for premarital couples with children from previous relationships.

PREPARE-CC  
Primarily designed for cohabiting couples with or without children, particularly those intending to marry.

ENRICH   
Primarily designed for married couples, to be used as a marriage enrichment or marriage counselling resource.

MATE   
Primarily designed for couples over 50 as relationship exploration resource.
 

Mate is available as inexpensive “add-on” ($15)  for purchase by accredited Administrators (Enrich training is necessary for Mate).  To order MATE just go to back to the Administrators Home Page and use the ordering materials link. 

Full PREPARE-CC details and information for ordering the resource will be described in the December Diary (which will be posted on the website early in December).  It is expected that we will start filling orders very early in the new year. We are currently printing the materials and testing the new scanning and scoring system associated with PREPARE-CC.
