The Relationship Panel is back for 2023. Our conversation about love is in full effect! The Relationship Panel is designed to provide connection, understanding, and support for people who dream about love. We understand that relationships are challenging. We want to give hope to the hopeless and confirm that love does exist. We are open and honest about our journeys into the realm of dating, relationships, and marriage. Our goal is to create opportunities for adults to have discussions about the positive side of relationships.

Maurice, a licensed therapist from Charlotte, NC, is back for another Brother 2 Brother discussion about our youth. We discuss the challenges our youth face, the impact of social media, and the dangers of having easy access to information on our youth. Maurice shares some easy tools and games for parents to use to connect to their children beyond the normal "How was your day?" conversation. Those tools can be useful in marriages and dating relationships, too.
