As part of Biola's FirstGen Summer Bridge program, join Dr. Chris and Alisa Grace from the Center for Marriage and Relationships for a special workshop on Cultivating Healthy Relationships. This session is designed to equip incoming first-generation students with practical tools and encouragement as they begin their college journey.

In this workshop, students will:

  • Learn key principles for building and maintaining healthy relationships

  • Explore how to navigate relational challenges, especially in a new season of life

  • Be introduced to CMR’s free resources and tools for ongoing growth

  • Receive a helpful handout with conversation starters and connection tips

We recognize that FirstGen students often carry the weight of family expectations and may struggle with feelings of guilt, shame or disconnection. About 40% of this year’s Summer Bridge group are transfer students, many of whom may be navigating friendships in a new environment. This workshop aims to create a safe and supportive space for students to process, learn and feel equipped relationally.
