"As One" Marriage & Relationship Program

 

“As One”

Forty-three percent of first marriages in United States ends in separation or divorce within 15 years (Kopala & Keitel, 2003). A spouse that comes from a divorced home has doubled the chances for divorce and both partners that come from a divorced home has tripled their chances for divorce (Stanley & Fincham, 2002).

Seventy percent of children from divorced homes see it as a solution for unhappy marriage and they have a harder time with educational, occupational, and financial attainment.

There are benefits not only to the married couple for being married, but benefits to children because they have better health, more mentally stable, and have both functional role models. Schools benefit because they have the support of both parents, less behavior issues, and more academic success. The community benefits because there are cleaner neighborhoods, less crime, and better housing. This flows over to our society which will eventually produce future leaders.

Gary and Terri have been certified to teach Basic Training for Couples, through the Georgia Healthy Marriage Initiative. They have also written and taught other relationship material.

The following training is available to church groups, agencies, organizations, weekend retreats, one-on-one counseling, and small group settings.

Prevent Child Sexual Abuse (back to the top)

We know that children are important to all faiths. In fact, most place the utmost importance on raising and protecting our children. But consider this. Did you know that 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys will be sexually abused before their 18th birthday? Or that the median age for reported sexual abuse is 9 years old. And incredibly, that there are over 39 million survivors spread across all socioeconomic classes!
Unfortunately, pedophiles search out places where children are and this makes faith organizations a prime target. They take advantage of the taboo nature of the subject, something that no one wants to discuss, and they thrive on this silence. So ask yourself, has my house of worship done enough? Are we prepared to deal with the physical and emotional pain, the healing, or the high costs associated with child sexual abuse, should it occur? Have we developed the tools and a plan to prevent or address this potential problem?

Don’t be like so many others and make the mistake of thinking that this can’t happen in my church or temple. It can!

Evangelist White is a certified trainer that provides a 2.5 hour training program for adults that teaches how to prevent, recognize and react responsibly to child sexual abuse for your church or organization. The program includes a section on policies and procedures, a video with sexual abuse statistics, and personal stories of survivors along with perspectives of various professionals working in the field of child sexual abuse. The curriculum has been researched and evaluated by esteemed third parties. Printed material includes a workbook and the “7 Steps to Protecting Children”.
