Healthy Relationships

Alabama has ranked in the top 10 for the last 60 years for the number of divorces. Fifty percent of all remarriages end in divorce. This is why PACT is passionate about healthy relationships and healthy marriages. Healthy relationships and healthy marriages make better parents. There are classes for teens and adults.

Celebrate Healthy with PACT!

Auburn University's College of Human Sciences has received a grant totaling more than $8.2 million to support the work of the Alabama Healthy Marriage and Relationship Education Initiative (AHMREI),www.alabamamarriage.org. AU's Center for Children, Youth, and Families within the college received the five-year grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Family Assistance.

The initiative will support a variety of educational programs and resources offered throughout the state that support healthy relationships and marriages.

"Historically, this is an area that has not been a focus in programs and services for families, yet, we have research-based information that can be offered through educational programs to assist Alabamians building and sustaining healthy relationships and marriages."
