The Coalition is a growing collaboration of more than 100 social service agencies, faith based organizations, and community leaders dedicated to supporting healthy marriages and healthy families in our community. We offer monthly marriage seminars so that those who choose marriage for themselves have the tools needed to make the marriage successful. We also provide relationship strengthening programs for businesses, churches, and other organizations. We have workshops to strengthen any kind of relationship, from dating (with our "How to Avoid Falling for a Jerk or Jerkette" class) to parent/child relationships. Coalition members provide an array of supportive services to Tarrant area families- child development, parenting, financial classes, health education, and more.
The Healthy Marriage- Healthy Families Coalition of Tarrant County meets regularly to network, learn about services and programs available, and seek ways to better meet the needs of families in Tarrant County. Recognizing that Tarrant County has a diverse population, the coalition has an African-American Marriage Initiative Committee and a Hispanic Marriage Initiative Committee to insure that the cultural needs specific to these populations are adequately addressed.

The coalition is NOT about coercing anyone to marry into or remain in an unhealthy relationship. We do not wish to stigmatize those who choose divorce, nor do we wish to limit access to divorce. We do not seek to diminish, either directly or indirectly, the important work of single parents.
