This webinar explores questions such as: What is Healthy Marriage and Relationship (MRE) Education anyway? How have MRE programs worked with domestic violence coalitions and community-based domestic violence programs? What tools have been developed that might be helpful to our DV prevention efforts? Where are the opportunities for collaborative healthy relationship work going forward?

This paper summarizes discussions held at an invitational conference designed to bring together key scholars and practitioners from the healthy marriage and domestic violence fields to address a complex issue-different types of intimate partner violence and their implications for practice.

This brief provides an overview of marriage and relationship education and the field. It describes the demonstration projects created to examine what works with what population and discuses the fields within social services that are working with a diverse array of Americans to deliver marriage education via multiple modes. It highlights public awareness about the value of marriage and marriage education services.

Domestic Violence and Healthy Marriage advocates often appear to contradict each other when they report statistics on the levels and nature of intimate partner conflict. This research brief helps clarify some of the misunderstandings, errors and apparent contradictions which derive from treating domestic violence as a single phenomenon.

This briefing was organized to provide the policy community with an update on how the healthy marriage and domestic violence fields were beginning to collaborate to promote safety.

The Resource Guide was developed for relationship and marriage educators and program administrators to help them understand and respond to domestic violence issues that may arise within their programs.

This Guide is the first of five that comprise Promoting Safety: A Resource Packet for Marriage and Relationship Educators and Program Administrators. This guide includes a working definition of domestic violence and an introduction to the network of domestic violence services that has been built in the United States over the last 30 years. An overview of key research findings related to the scope of domestic violence and its impact on adults, teens and children is also included.
