TexProtects | Prevent Child Abuse America
Champions for safe children. | texprotects.org
TexProtects is the only nonprofit and nonpartisan organization in Texas focused solely on the issue of child abuse and neglect. Our goal is to strengthen the resilience of all families, which in turn protects children from the trauma of child maltreatment. Our policy and program agenda contributes to strong, safe families and children by developing and driving smart solutions to prevent child abuse and neglect. By informing the public, collaborating with allies on this issue and advocating for strong policy, we get results for children and secure the future of Texas.
Texans Care for Children
We drive policy change to improve the lives of Texas children today for a stronger Texas tomorrow. |txchildren.org
We are a statewide, non-profit, non-partisan, multi-issue children’s policy organization. We develop policy solutions, produce research, and engage Texas community leaders to educate policymakers, the media, and the public about what works to improve the well-being of Texas children and families.
Children at Risk
Speaking Out + Driving Change for Children | childrenatrisk.org
Using the tools of research and advocacy, CHILDREN AT RISK works on a broad range of children’s issues, including education, parenting and family well being, health and nutrition, immigration, and the fight to end human trafficking. 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.
