Special Opportunity to Meet Dr. Gary Chapman
From one of our valued staff members, Audrey Wilkes, who attended an ACC Conference in Nashville, TN:
“I recently had the special opportunity to meet Dr. Gary Chapman, the well-known author of The 5 Love Languages. His message was both inspiring and practical—reminding us that every relationship is strengthened when we choose to love in ways that truly connect with those we care about. Whether it’s through Words of Affirmation, Acts of Service, Quality Time, Physical Touch, or Receiving Gifts, Dr. Chapman encouraged us to be intentional and consistent in showing love.
This experience deeply connected with the work we are doing through HEARTS for Families through the SAFE HOMES strategy. Just as love languages give families tools to nurture stronger relationships, SAFE HOMES gives parents a united way to create safer, healthier environments for children and teens. By pledging to keep homes free from alcohol, tobacco, and other risky substances, families send a clear message of protection and care.
