What is Heritage Marriage and Family Resource Center?
Heritage Marriage and Family Resource Center is an area in the Overton Memorial Library that houses materials that promote healthy marriages and family relationships. It is designed to work with community-based and faith-based agencies/organizations that share in the promotion of healthy marriages, responsible fatherhood and family stability.
The principal aim of the Heritage Marriage and Family Resource Center is to provide community-based and faith-based agencies with current, diverse materials related to marriages and families. These materials can be used by counselors, ministers, coaches and/or mentors to assist them in their work in helping others achieve healthy marriages, responsible parenting, and family stability. Specfic areas of interest are Premarital Counseling, Marriage, Parenting, Fatherhood, and Divorce Recovery. To view a sample list of resources in the Center -click here-.
Key personnel of the Heritage Marriage and Family Resource Center work closely with personnel from the Alpha Center, a Christian counseling service, the Shoals Co-Parenting Alliance and the Shoals Healthy Marriage Coalition to select, compile and evaluate appropriate print materials, audiovisual materials and other resources that will be helpful to the counselors, ministers, coaches and/or mentors of community-based and faith-based agencies in the Shoals area.
All personnel of community-based and faith-based agencies and organizations as well as volunteers who help in these agencies are encouraged to use the Heritage Marriage and Family Resource Center. Individuals and couples who are being counseled may also use the facility.
