The St. Louis Healthy Marriage Coalition [SLHMC] was founded in 2004. In April 2010, SLHMC changed its name to St. Louis Healthy Families [SLHF] in order to better reflect the future mission and vision of the agency. SLHF is a locally based 501(c)(3) non-profit agency that aims to support, establish, and sustain healthy families and relationships in the greater St. Louis area through education, information, and outreach.
St. Louis Healthy Families promotes the fact that it is essential for both mothers and fathers to be active in the lives of their children. SLHF also believes that healthy relationships are at the core of building healthy families!
