About Us

Families Matter is a not-for-profit organization that provides effective strategies and support to individuals and organizations that prepare, strengthen, and restore marriages and families.

Our goal is to build a culture that supports healthy marriages and families while reducing divorce filings and the out-of-wedlock birth rate in Shelby County 20% by 2010.

Our Mission is to work collectively with the community to reverse the epidemic of divorce, fatherlessness, and out-of-wedlock births in Shelby County and the Mid-South.
