Anthem Strong Families

VISION

• We envision a community who understands that families are the building block of our society and the key ingredient to the life and well-being of a child.

• We envision a community who recognizes the enormous impact that families have on the economic and social welfare of our community, including education, crime, poverty, domestic violence, and drug and alcohol abuse.

• We envision a c

ommunity who proactively supports healthy families at every level of government, corporate and civic leadership. Through Education, Collaboration and Mobilization

• Education – We all know that education works. It doesn't matter if it’s about getting through school, learning to drive or learning better skills to get promoted on the job; education and learning skills are key. When couples and individuals learn how to understand and communicate better, work through disagreements, identify their own destructive behaviors and keep their cool when tempers flare, self-esteem increases and good feelings between people increases. With these skills, spouses can continue to build love, parents will become better at helping their children and teens learn how to make good choices for their life. It is education and skills that teach us how to be the Champion for our families and our children.

• Collaboration – By joining forces with individuals, agencies, organizations, local government and businesses, more families are able to receive those skills and utilize them to create loving homes in which to raise their children safely and effectively. Through hundreds of partnerships throughout the Dallas Metroplex, Anthem Strong Family teaches teens, couples and moms and dads “championship skills” for their life.

• Mobilization - It is the time for us, as a community who cares about our quality of life and the conservation of our dollars, to be stirred to action. It is time to mobilize and become a Community of Champions. Each of us can learn to be a Champion: the champion of our marriage, our children, ourselves. You will see the lives of those around you change.
