Heal -Connect-Grow

Founded by Lamar and Lashandra Davis, the Anchored Marriage Program is a community-based relationship education and healing initiative designed to strengthen marriages and prepare singles for healthy, purpose-driven relationships. With over 23 years of marriage, Lamar and Lashandra bring both personal experience and professional insight to helping individuals and couples build strong, resilient partnerships.

The program is supported by a multidisciplinary leadership team, including Ordained Pastor Waid Scarbrough and his wife Christina, who provide mentorship and values-based leadership guidance, along with Lashandra Davis, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, who offers expertise in trauma-informed care, attachment theory, and relational therapy. Together, they deliver a comprehensive approach that promotes emotional, relational, and personal well-being.

Anchored offers a comprehensive continuum of care through

Relationship education workshops and seminars
Individual, couples, and family counseling
Premarital and singles preparation cohorts
Marriage enrichment and restoration retreats
Mentorship and peer support groups
Community engagement and family-strengthening events
Through these services, Anchored has supported couples and individuals in rebuilding trust, improving communication, resolving conflict, and creating healthier relational patterns. The program is intentionally designed to be inclusive, culturally responsive, and accessible—meeting people where they are and guiding them toward sustainable growth.
At its core, Anchored is not simply a class or workshop series; it is a transformational pathway that restores hope, strengthens families, and builds resilient communities.
