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 two home mentoring programs and community-based, educational programs for families that have elevated risk for child abuse. The families often reside in the poorest communities throughout Dallas and Collin counties. All programs are evidence-based, voluntary and free of charge. Since 1992, the agency has served over 54,000 parents and children, ultimately saving and changing generations.
