Texas Prevention Network

The Texas Prevention Network, originally established by TexProtects as the Texas Home Visiting Consortium in 2012, has relaunched in 2024, creating a platform for all organizations in our state that engage in preventing child abuse and neglect to connect with and learn from each other. 

Open to all providers that have a role in preventing child maltreatment, the network facilitates peer-to-peer connections, hosts educational and learning sessions, facilitates resource sharing, and disseminates updates from relevant state agencies and others engaged in this work. 

This Network fosters collaboration and knowledge exchange among the professionals across our state that are dedicated to the well-being of children and families in each of our communities.

Texans Care for Children

As a statewide non-profit organization, Texans Care for Children conducts research and engages communities to identify ways that state policies should change to ensure Texas kids and families succeed. 

We then work with legislators, state officials, partners, the media, and everyday Texans to build support for those policy solutions and ensure state leaders implement them. 

Our work focuses on maternal and child health, child protection (including foster care), early learning, and children’s mental health.

Children at Risk

Using the tools of research and  advocacy, CHILDREN AT RISK works on a broad range of children’s issues, including education, health, safety & opportunity, immigration, and equity. 

We focus our efforts where they are needed most: where a significant number of Texas’ children are affected, and where we can enhance, but not duplicate, the work of others.
