SERVICES
Here's how we can support you.
Research
We conduct our own research to learn more about the ways women's platonic, same-sex relationships impact their overall health, job satisfaction, and life satisfaction. We also partner with other institutions by funding and sharing their work.
Training and Consulting
Organizations turn to us to help them attract, immerse, and retain the right members. We also design organizational trainings that equip leaders and team members to navigate the unique ways that women cooperate, communicate, and engage in conflict.
Certification
The Women's Relational Health Institute offers a unique three-month certification program for women who want to be relational health coaches. We're trusted by pastors, professors, life coaches, educators, and psychologists looking to specialize in this area.

ABOUT
Because connection makes all the difference.
Relational health is about the way that we perceive, form, and maintain healthy platonic connections. For women, success in this area requires knowledge of the unique ways that women communicate, cooperate, and engage in conflict.
Our research finds that poor relational health for women in predominately female spaces leads to anxiety, low job satisfaction, and unhappiness. The Women's Relational Health Institute is the first organization offering specialized support in this area.
With evidence-based strategies, consulting, workshops, and certification programs, we exist to help those in leadership build stronger bonds between the women on their teams. Because not only does it lead to an overall lack of engagement, harmony, and retention, but it also impacts the ladies' individual wellbeing and sense of self... and that alone is far too great a cost.
