Dear Friends,

The Dibble Institute and the California Healthy Marriages Coalition would like to announce our upcoming workshop: Helping Kids Get Smart About Marriage. 

This FREE workshop is for Healthy Marriage Coalition members, high school teachers, and youth workers in California who want to increase their capacity to teach relationship and marriage skills to teens. We can guarantee registration for the first 200 participants, and thereafter will include as many people as possible on a space available basis.

About the Workshop:
In this dynamic daylong workshop, Char Kamper and Marline Pearson, nationally renowned authors of the Connections and Love U2^® programs, will provide overviews of their curricula; discuss how to help teens successfully learn the skills for healthy relationships and marriages; and guide you through the process of teaching these programs.

Tentative Schedule:

*Box lunches are $13. Lunchtime will allow for “geographic networking” to help you connect with the high school teachers, youth workers, and members of Healthy Marriage Coalitions in your service area.
