First Things First

Mission: To provide resources that guide people in their relationships so they can live better lives.

First Things First (FTF) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing research-based resources to equip individuals with healthy relationship skills. Since 1997, millions of families have grown stronger by using FTF’s healthy relationship resources. Our long-term vision is that those skills will be passed down from generation to generation, breaking cycles of relationship dysfunction and creating positive change.

Through face-to-face programming, one-on-one coaching sessions, and digital resources, FTF assists individuals, couples, and parents to identify obstacles that keep them from creating deep connections and provide a plan to build stronger relationships.

While our digital resources reach all over the world, the heart of First Things First remains firmly planted in the community of our hometown – Chattanooga, Tennessee. We are focused on providing relationship services to those who need it most and cannot afford it.
