Healthy Relationships California

Healthy Relationships California: Healthy Relationships California (HRC) is one of the nation’s pre-eminent Relationship Education organizations. HRC is one organization with multiple divisions and programs. In 2005, HRC first started under the name, California Healthy Marriages Coalition (CHMC), a non-profit organization dedicated to improve the well-being of children by strengthening the relationship of parents through Marriage Education and Relationship Skills classes. First Steps as the California Healthy Marriages Coalition: In 2006, CHMC received a five-year, $11.9 Million grant from Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (HHS/ACF), the largest grant ever awarded by HHS/ACF in support of Healthy Marriages. Through this funding, CHMC has partnered with a more than 30 different faith- and community-based organizations (FBCOs) throughout California. Each of CHMC’s funded partner organizations is a coalition consisting of many other FBCOs through which they deliver Marriage Education and Relationship Skills classes, enabling HRC to reach California’s diverse population by traversing the key demographic dimensions of geography, ethnic/cultural differences, and agency-type FBCOs. CHMC is an active division of HRC that has taught proven relationship-building skills to more than 102,000 Californians.
