The Healthy Relationship Commitment
Thank you for your interest in the Healthy Relationship Commitment campaign. Shield-Bearer and partners across the Greater Houston area believe that every person needs healthy relationships with friends and family. Research supports that strong families, and the healthy marriage relationship being the strongest link, build strong communities.
We’re asking you — every person who is a part of a family — to join us in making the Healthy Relationship Commitment. We want to create healthier couples, parent child and family relationships for the sake of our youngest Texans. Research is clear, when children are raised with healthy relationships with parents and in homes where healthy relationships are modeled, they are more likely to achieve their potential academically, less likely to be engaged with juvenile justice as an offender and more likely to become productive citizens as young adults.
Our goal is to lead half a million people in the Greater Houston area to make the Healthy Relationship Commitment by October 15th, 2010.
The Healthy Relationship Commitment
1) I will strive to be in healthy relationships with family, friends and significant others.
2) I will strive to help others in my life live healthier relationships.
3) I will invest in my relationships by reading/viewing research based relationship materials, attending workshops, finding mentors and other pro-healthy-relationship people in my life for support.
