Group classes meet every other week for a total of four classes for SYMBIS I and five classes for SYMBIS II
Assessment cost is $35/per couple.
Cost for books and materials is $25/ couple. Payable at time of initial review.
All Marriage Mentoring couples at COF are trained and certified SYMBIS Facilitators. Classes generally meet every other Sunday evening at one of the COF locations or in Mentor’s homes depending on size of classes.
