At Just the Facts, our mission is to stress the importance of healthy marriages and the positive impact intact families have on children. Ultimately, our goal is to break the vicious cycles of poverty and abuse for Alabama’s children.
We are excited to announce the development of a new teen leadership program. This new program will build on the success of their ongoing teen relationship workshops that have reached over 12,000 teens throughout Alabama since 2006. Just the Facts believes that having positive teen role models in the community will reinforce the skills taught in their workshops.
