Addressing the Crisis in Family Values – Be Part of the Solution

We know you share our passion for renewing faith, restoring families, and transforming society. Today, we want to address one of the most pressing issues facing our culture: the erosion of the family unit.

In recent years, we have witnessed a significant decline in family cohesion. Rising divorce rates, the prevalence of single-parent households, and the growing disconnection between family members are just a few symptoms of this crisis. The weakening of the family unit undermines the very foundation of a stable and prosperous society, leading to increased social problems, economic instability, and emotional distress.

The impact of broken families on teenagers is profound and far-reaching. Consider these alarming statistics:

• Educational Outcomes: Teenagers from broken homes are twice as likely to drop out of high school compared to those from intact families .

• Mental Health: Children from divorced families are 50% more likely to develop mental health issues, including depression and anxiety .

• Substance Abuse: Adolescents from single-parent households are at a higher risk of substance abuse, with a 70% increased likelihood of engaging in drug use .

• Behavioral Problems: Teens from broken families are more likely to exhibit behavioral problems, including aggression and delinquency, compared to their peers from stable families .

• Poverty Risk: Nearly 30% of children living in single-parent homes experience poverty, significantly higher than the 10% of children in two-parent homes .

• Criminal Activity: Youths from fragmented families have a higher propensity for criminal behavior and are more frequently involved in the juvenile justice system .

These statistics underscore the urgent need for our movement and the impact we can have in addressing these challenges, but it’s going to take all of us to effect lasting improvements.

We believe that strong families are essential for nurturing responsible, ethical, and resilient individuals. Here are the tangible steps we are taking to release heavenly solutions into the world:

1. Family Support Programs: We offer a range of resources aimed at strengthening family ties and providing practical guidance for navigating the challenges of modern life.

3. Community Engagement: We organize online and in-person community events that bring people together, fostering a sense of belonging and mutual support. By creating spaces where people can connect and share their ideas and experiences, we build stronger, more resilient communities.

4. Mentorship and Leadership Development: We provide mentorship programs that help individuals to develop leadership skills and become role models within their families and communities. Our goal is to inspire a new generation of leaders who prioritize family and community well-being.

5. Advocacy and Awareness: We advocate for practices that support family stability and work to raise awareness about the importance of strong family units. Through our outreach efforts, we aim to influence societal norms and encourage a culture that values and supports families.
