As a public health professional, Loretta Shields understands how relationships influence quality of life and health outcomes. And, as a pastoral counselor, who has learned the tools and techniques to help people interact with others in a healthy way, it's important to her that relationship tools and techniques are given to people as soon as possible to cultivate healthy relationships from the inside out instead of as last resort to try to save their relationships. Therefore, Heart-2-Heart: The Reality of Relationships explores the hard and easy realities of relationships, why these realities exist, and relationship solutions to help us more healthily interact with those whom we interact.
