What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

In 2018, the Texas DFPS reported 5,842 confirmed cases of child abuse in Tarrant County. For the last 3 years, Tarrant County has ranked as one of the highest counties in Texas, however, the efforts of organizations like The Parenting Center have helped to make significant strides in eradicating this issue and other adverse childhood experiences.\n\nIn recent years, the CDC released information on a long-term research project highlighting the importance of childhood experiences and its effects on adulthood. The Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study revealed that child abuse has fundamental effects on children that are immediately felt and others that only reveal themselves in adulthood. \n\nThe Parenting Center believes that through programs that provide affordable and accessible counseling, parent education, safety information and relationship support for families of all income levels, the risk of child abuse and other ACEs can be significantly decreased in the community.

Our programs

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Family Life Education

The Family Life Education program is one of the key ways The Parenting Center maintains its mission to build successful families. We do this through offering more than 50 transformative topics and through a number of programs, including our Parenting Workshops, Family Transitions and Parenting Education Program in Schools.

Parenting Workshops – these workshops range from basic parenting skills to complex issues and span from birth through teen years. Workshops are offered at The Parenting Center, online and throughout the Metroplex.

Family Transitions – comprehensive and hands-on support for families raising children between homes or currently going through the transition. This support is offered to parents, blended families and other family members and include educational classes, consultations, mediation and co-parenting coaching.

Parenting Education Program in Schools – taught throughout high schools in our community, parenting experts educate students on healthy relationships.

Population(s) Served
Families
Parents

We offer individual, family, and couples counseling.  Counseling ranges from general assistance to help for abused and neglected children.  For children between the ages of three and eight, the counselor may use play therapy as a way of helping a child address and resolve problems.  The Parenting Advice Line (PAL) is available as a free service to parents and caregivers who need answers to questions about caring for children.  Trained staff help callers develop a plan or share ideas to resolve concerns.  They may also make recommendations to other services which can provide additional tools to succeed.

Population(s) Served

This comprehensive program is designed to strengthen families through marriage skills training for couples.  They are also provided with case management services that include job skills, budget training, parenting education, and other services as needed.  When families are healthy and strong everyone benefits.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31

SOURCE: IRS Form 990

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
