Relationship Education for Young Parents: What do We Know? What More Do We Need to Know?

This symposium provides a necessary update on relationship education and its effectiveness, with a particular focus on families with children or about to have children. In addition, we highlight what is known about relationship education's impact not only on couple relationships, but on the health and wellbeing of children and adults. The symposium will includes a review of the current literature, findings from a program aimed at improving father involvement, and a presentation of findings from the federally-funded Supporting Healthy Marriage and Building Strong Families evaluations.
