Family Compass
Building healthy families and a strong North Texas community by preventing child abuse and neglect. Services are free of cost and participation is voluntary.
MAKING A DIFFERENCE -
Family Compass enters the lives of vulnerable children at-risk for abuse and supports their parents with one-on-one education, encouragement, and parenting tools. Our agency has a holistic, wrap-around approach and offers a continuum of care. We know why child abuse and neglect happen, the root causes being: a lack of parenting skills, high stress, and poor conditions in the home and environment. To address these causes, child abuse prevention services are provided using two models: Home Mentoring and Community Education & Outreach. Both models work in synergy, providing a full range of support. Families may access multiple programs to meet their individual needs, some staying in services for up to 6 years. Our staff are there every step of the way, with accredited and evidence-based curricula, to guide clients in overcoming barriers to becoming healthy families and empowering them with life skills. Bilingual staff are represented in all of Family Compass’ programs and initiatives. We create sustainable change that flows into future generations and permanently breaks cycles of abuse. Family Compass ultimately increases resilience, self-esteem, social connection, emotional health, and stability for children. PROVEN RESULTS -
The CDC estimates that it costs society $831,000 per case to address child abuse over the lifetime of the child. As such, Family Compass saves the community millions of dollars each year by keeping hundreds of children out of the overburdened CPS system, most importantly preventing the trauma of child abuse and neglect. We listen with intention and provide steady guidance, ultimately empowering parents and instilling hope within families for future generations. Family Compass has served tens of thousands of parents and children since the agency's founding in 1992. The generous support of our donors and community partners allows us to provide these critical prevention services, proactively addressing the causes of child abuse before it can occur.

Little passengers, big protection. 💙🚗
This Child Passenger Safety Week, we’re raising awareness about keeping children safe on every ride and celebrating the people who help families get there safely. Every properly installed car seat, every safety check, and every lesson makes a difference.

At 17, Yvonne was raising a baby, working, finishing high school and rebuilding her life after domestic violence. Still, she refused to give up on her goal of graduating with her class.
With her determination and the steady support of her Family Compass Parent Aide, Yvonne earned the credits she needed to graduate and has now been accepted to two universities. Her young son is thriving in the safe, nurturing home she worked so hard to create.
Prevention rarely happens in one dramatic moment. It is built through thousands of moments of support, perseverance and learning that add up to something extraordinary: a family building a different future. 💙
This North Texas Giving Day donate and help us walk alongside more families like Yvonne's.
