Marriage and Couples Mental Health in Boise
Many religious organizations in the Boise area provide valuable resources for couples who seek to strengthen their marriage and their family. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints offers two classes that specifically target these areas. Their marriage course helps couples improve communication, foster equality and unity, and teaches them how to overcome anger and conflict. The family course provides insights into understanding child development, fostering confidence, and teaching responsible behavior. Both courses focus on positive change for better relationships and family mental health. For additional information, call 208-376-0191.2
Ensuring that children are equipped with the knowledge and tools they need to make positive life choices is the primary goal of Lutheran Community Services. Their school-based Positive Action Program teaches children conflict resolution, anger management, problem solving, and general life skills that facilitate improved relationships with peers, teachers and family members. Life skills trainings are focused on drug and alcohol prevention. Students engage in activities that target the primary social and psychological factors involved in risky behaviors. By addressing the underlying issues that can lead children to become at-risk, the program ensures participants can make better choices for a future of good mental health.

Family Services and Assistance Programs
Families that need assistance meeting their daily physical, emotional, or financial needs have several Boise agencies to turn to for help. The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare oversees the food stamp program, which helps poor families get the nutrition they need to go to work, go to school, and function on a normal basis. In the winter, the home heating program offers financial assistance so families stay warm. Financial assistance is also available for parents who need childcare, but cannot afford it.4 Families that need a little extra money for clothing and furniture can get emergency funds at the Salvation Army. Homeless families can also find shelter. Case management services are available as well, so the medical and mental health needs of families are accounted for.
