The Healthy Relationship and Marriage Education Training
Background
The HRMET curriculum was developed through a 5-year cooperative agreement (2009 - 2013) funded by the Administration on Children, Youth and Families Children's Bureau. The aim of this project was to increase child welfare professionals' access to relationship and marriage education as one strategy to meet the safety, permanency, and well-being needs of vulnerable children in the child welfare system. This project yielded a research-based, national training resource and curriculum that all professionals who work with families can use to promote the development of healthy couple relationships.
Modules and Materials
Self-paced learning modules designed to provide you with basic background and knowledge behind the principles and skills that can be taught through relationship and marriage education can be viewed here!
