The Coalition serves as a clearinghouse to help couples and policy makers find the information they need to strengthen marriages and families - their own or those in their community. Click to subscribe to the newsletter. Visit the Directory to find a course for yourself, a friend or family member. The courses make great wedding, anniversary and new-baby gifts. Learn how to teach the courses and start a program in your church, school, or community.
Training takes from two to four days.
You can train and qualify to teach dozens of programs at the annual Smart Marriages conference, or if you can't make it to the conference, see the directory for training locations across the country. You do NOT need a mental health degree or license to teach marriage and family education courses. Visit the Articles page to gather information on legislative, high school or community efforts which can lower the rate of family breakdown. Contact the Coalition for consultation on legislation or community initiatives. For a Directory of school-based youth education courses, click here .
