Healthy Relationships and Marriage Education
Too many children in South Carolina are born to unmarried mothers and into poverty that lasts a lifetime. In Why Marriage Matters, Thirty Conclusions from the Social Sciences, researchers have concluded that children who grow up in low-conflict families with married biological parents do better compared to children in any other family structure. Children from divorced or never married parents have lower grades, are more likely to be held back a grade and drop out of high school compared to children from married low-income parents.
Heritage’s Healthy Family Formation goal is to lift South Carolina out of poverty by providing the necessary education and skills to form healthy relationships, prepare for and strengthen marriages so that their children are nurtured.
