ARC's History
Active Relationships Center began as a counseling center and later developed curricula and began to offer facilitator trainings and educational classes directly for singles, couples, youth and families.
ARC initiated the Alliance for North Texas Healthy and Effective Marriages Healthy Marriage Initiative in Dallas, Texas and also piloted the Hispanic Active Relationships Project in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas. ARC successfully obtained federal grants from the Compassion Capital Fund and DHHS’s Office of Family Assistance on behalf of relationship wellness skills in Texas, in both Dallas County and Cameron County.
ARC is also pleased to work closely with the United States Armed Forces. Military family retreats were initiated in 2003. Since 2003, ARC has conducted retreats and certification trainings for the Army, Air Force, National Guard and Reserves. ARC conducts trainings and retreats worldwide (Pacific, Europe, Asia, and Continental United States). The Active Military Life and Resiliency Skills program is an approved curriculum for the Army Strong Bonds mission.
Other significant ARC work includes (i) technical assistance, facilitator trainings, and retreats for refugee communities across the United States. (ii) trainings for various YWCA organizations, middle schools and high schools, and (iii) training for various faith-based organizations.
ARC offers retreats for singles, couples, youth and families. ARC also offers professional trainings to provide facilitators to present retreats directly for singles, couples, youth and families.
ARC also offers certified facilitators an opportunity to become certified to train other facilitators to present the ARC curricula (i.e., a “train the trainer” track).
