The Family Institute received a Federal grant from the Administrative of Children and Families to develop a healthy marriages curriculum for parents who have children with disabilities or chronic illnesses. We will periodically add information to this page regarding ways to develop and/or maintain healthy marriages.

In the mean time - there are two ways you can help:

• Fill out the Healthy Marriages Questionnaire to assist with what is covered in the curriculum.
• Be part of the parent advisory committee (see below)

We are looking for six couples who have children with disabilities or chronic illnesses to serve on an advisory committee.  There will be six meetings, one for moms, one for dads, and four others that either or both can attend.  There will be a $25/meeting stipend plus $150 for the couples who attend all six meetings. Contact Diane at diane@familyinstitute-cwb.org or 651-639-2527 if interested.  The first meeting will be in late June.  We are looking for six couples with a variety of backgrounds and experiences, including married and unmarried parents.
