STRENGTHENING MARRIAGES IN ALLEN COUNTY |
Healthy
Marriages of Allen County is an coalition of community
and faith organizations created with the goals of
increasing the chances of lifelong marriages and
creating stable families.
We all
know about high divorce rates, increasing cohabitation,
domestic violence, and the negative impact on children
of families in chaos. Only with a united effort will we
be able to impact our community by not only offering
solutions to these problems, but also by offering
preventative measures.
For the
past two years, community leaders have been working
towards a goal of strengthening marriages and together
have launched Healthy Marriages of Allen County (HMAC).

PREPARING FOR MARRIAGE, NOT JUST THE WEDDING |
Our
programs aim to reduce divorce, domestic violence and
child abuse and neglect by offering classes and
counseling and by providing mentoring in relationship
skills.
We
begin by offering extensive pre-marital counseling and
resources and continue with marriage-enriching programs
concerning issues such as conflict resolution,
communication, finances, sex, and parenting.
The HMAC coalition
continues to grow in the number of organizations
contributing to this effort as well as in the number of
resources and training opportunities offered.
Please
take a few moments to view the opportunities we offer;
and be sure to
contact us for further
information. We are here to serve you!
