The 4th in Talk of The Town's series of relationships and our last event of 2006, offers not only a debate, but this month a relationships seminar
will be facilitated by the Editor of PRIDE magazine Sherry Dixon and delivered by Author and
Relationships expert Elaine Sihera. With Controversial Voice newspaper columnist
and lecturer Dr Tony Sewell. Elaine is Author of 'Money, Sex and Compromise', '10 Easy Steps To ... Finding
Your Ideal Soulmate !' and her brand new book, '10 Easy Steps To Growing Old Disgracefully'.
Who Will Benefit From Attending ?
Single people as well as those in relationships will find this highly beneficial to improving their relationships. For
those who think this is a "soft" topic do take a moment to consider the impact of the high number of failed relationships
on individuals and society - divorces, broken families, "lost and unruly boys" ending up in prison, leaving school with poor
or non existent qualifications which only sets them up for an unfullfilled life which the rest of society pays the price for
in so many negative ways. It's thus crucial we learn to improve relationships all round. If you think this isn't for
you because you're in a good relationship or know people in long term relationships then invite and come along with these
people and share your relationship success so that others can learn from them.
The seminar will feature a talk by Elaine Sihera covering the title of the event plus well researched tuition and advice on
how to find your ideal partner, followed by Q&A and interactive exercises to enable attendees to get the most out
of the seminar. To get the most out of the session it is advisable to have read the book ahead of the seminar. Combined book
and ticket offers available.

10 Easy Steps To Growing Older Disgracefully Seminar 25.11.06
Single Mothers Also Cause Splits - BBC Article
DISCUSSION
Rebuilding the
family unit. How can single mothers can raise boys without the fathers influence ? Hot topic of the moment,
thanks to Child Psychologist, Camilla Batmanghelidjh, who last month said this was, overall, just not happening successfully.
Dr Tony Sewell agrees that single mothers are failing their boys. We discuss whether this is accurate or not and what
the solutions are.
To be discussed
in Question Time style after the seminar with Elaine Sihera, Sherry Dixon (Editor, PRIDE), Dr Tony Sewell (The Voice) and
Pauly Skerret of Black Men and Fatherhood.
Black
women are "hugely responsible" for the family breakdown which fuels crime, MPs have been told.
Camila Batmanghelidjh, of the charity Kid's Company, said
men were usually seen as the "irresponsible" ones who got girls pregnant and "walked off".
But black women were also to blame as they had a culture
of rejecting men and being "cruel" towards them, she said. "I actually think the mothers are hugely responsible because they
have created a culture where they can get rid of the adolescent boy.”
Ms Batmanghelidjh, who advises Tory leader David Cameron,
was speaking to the influential home affairs committee. The Commons committee, which is investigating young black people and
the criminal justice system, was told 57% of black Caribbean children grew up in lone parent households, compared with 25%
of white children.
"The biggest social issue is violence in the home, because
men don't understand relationships with women," said Mr Bailey, who advises the Tories' Social Justice Policy Group, under
former leader Iain Duncan Smith.
"They can get rid of the male partner, they can survive
on their own.
"Often people think it's the males who are the culprits, the irresponsible
people who actually come along and make these girls pregnant and walk off … And they underestimate the level of rejection
and cruelty from the females towards the males … I actually think the males are really vulnerable and it starts in adolescence.”
