Program Overview
Families United is dedicated to reaching and educating the modern family. We are committed to serving and providing Healthy Relationship Educational Programs in the City of St. Louis, St. Louis County and East St. Louis region. Research has shown, on average, children who are raised in a healthier household have higher academic achievements fare better than children who grow up in unstable family structures. Programs sponsored by Families United will help strengthen and empower the family by providing educational opportunities to youth and families that promote healthy relationship skills, healthy marriage/relationship enhancement, parenting skills, conflict resolution, job readiness and financial fitness.
