About Family Compass
Family Compass is a non-profit agency that believes that every child has the fundamental right to a healthy family and environment, the opportunity to succeed in school and the capacity to experience life without violence. The mission of Family Compass is to build healthy families and a strong North Texas community by preventing child abuse and neglect. This is accomplished through our two in-home mentoring programs and community based, educational programs for families that have elevated risk for child abuse. These families often reside in the poorest communities throughout Dallas and Collin counties. All of our programs are evidence-based, voluntary and free of charge. Last year alone this organization kept 568 high-risk children out of the CPS system, which, at a cost of $830,000 per case of child abuse and neglect (according to the latest CDC research) resulted in a $472-million-dollar savings for our community. These children didn’t have to spend a single night on the floor of the CPS offices or enter the over-burdened foster-care system. For more information, visit family-compass.org.
