SLHMC is a locally based 501(c)(3) non-profit agency that aims to support, establish, and sustain healthy marriages and families in the greater St. Louis area through education, information, and outreach. The St. Louis Healthy Marriage Coalition promotes the fact that it is essential for both mothers and fathers to be active in the lives of their children.

Our Mission:

To educate and support the St. Louis community in understanding relationship skills essential for healthy marriages.
