Welcome to Healthy Marriages, a program that provides relationship support services for couples of all stages of a relationship, from dating, engaged, newlywed, married, to couples later in life. Healthy Marriages was established through funding from the US Department of Health and Human Services in October of 2006 to provide relationship support services for central New Mexico. Ultimately, it is our goal and passion to create and expand relationship wellness throughout the state.
At Healthy Marriages, we believe that marriage is a fundamental building block of a vibrant society, in which competent relationship skills, positive core values, and social support are key factors to build a relationship that will last a lifetime. As a result, we aim to equip couples with the tools needed to create and maintain a strong and healthy relationship by providing:
These services are provided to couples to build a relationship that will last a lifetime.
We also want to maximize our efforts by welcoming couples and organizations to join our efforts, which in turn will spiral a positive effect on family and community. Healthy Marriages is based on a couple-to-couple approach, so couples can join our efforts by becoming lead couples called “Wise Couples” to facilitate couple support groups and couple-to-couple mentoring. In addition, Healthy Marriages welcomes partnership with organizations through a number of ways to create and expand relationship wellness.
As a program of Samaritan Counseling Center, we serve the whole community and respect all beliefs, experiences, cultures, and spirituality. I hope that you will choose to take part in this exciting effort. As a couple motivated to take your relationship to the next level, we hope to bring nourishment and inspiration through our services at no financial cost to you. As a couple or organization interested in joining our efforts, we are excited about partnering with you to create a self sustaining network of couples that support each other in healthy relationships in our communities.
