And now, with stay-at-home orders in place, lots of couples are facing big challenges. Basically, too much together time is tearing them apart.
In a new episode of KPBS' pop-up podcast series "The Pandemic Pivot," we've got a story about the breakdown of communication between couples in quarantine, and a nonprofit that’s trying to help.
We talk to a company that puts on divorce webinars and is seeing a huge uptick in demand. And yes, breaking up, divorce, temporary separation; that’s one way to go. But the National Conflict Resolution Center is offering another solution. The group has launched a new series of “Virtual Community Circles,” online group therapy sessions conducted via Zoom. The give people the tools and skills to better communicate in times of crises like COVID-19.
