PREVENTION
Stabilize Families and Improve Outcomes
We can reduce the risk of abuse and neglect in families, and prevent children from entering the foster care system.
Many families and single parent homes are one traumatic event away from being swept into the foster system. Job loss, domestic violence, drug addiction, illness and unplanned pregnancy are all factors that often lead to a continuous stream of children and families at risk of entering the foster system.
47%
of Texans are victims of domestic violence
30-60%
of those victims subsequently abuse their children
50%
higher rate of teen pregnancy
57,000
grandparents are raising grandkids in Region 8 (Bexar, Comal and surrounding counties).
