Project Harmony

Project Harmony, through UCF’s Marriage and Family Research Institute, helps couples and families build stronger, healthier relationships. Our workshops teach practical tools to improve communication, manage stress, listen and feel heard, and resolve conflict in positive ways. Using the evidence-based Prevention and Relationship Enhancement Program (PREP), participants gain a deeper understanding of how emotions, expectations, and stress can impact their relationships, while learning strategies to stay connected through life’s challenges.

With new program expansion and funding, Project Harmony now offers three specialized tracks to better meet the needs of our community. UNITE supports couples who want to strengthen connection, communication, and teamwork. RAISE provides guidance for couples raising children by reducing parenting stress and reinforcing a strong family foundation. SHIELD is tailored for first responder couples, offering tools to navigate demanding schedules, burnout, and the emotional impact of the job while staying connected and resilient.

Project Harmony workshops are offered at no cost to participants. Couples who complete the program consistently report greater relationship happiness, improved communication, and stronger support for one another. Our mission is to help families create lasting, healthy connections so they can thrive together.
