Our Mission

To provide family members and professionals with the tools, resources and services to build successful families.

What We Do

Forty-one years ago, The Parenting Center was built on the core belief that empowering families with the necessary knowledge and skills can lead them to develop and maintain healthy lives. This same philosophy still rings true today. Family is the foundation for society. We serve the whole family.

The Parenting Center dedicates itself to the prevention of child abuse and neglect and is a leader in the field of parenting education and skills based training. We work from within the community, providing individuals, families, schools and others with the tools they need to succeed together. Our goal is to surround children with the type of support we all want to have. We do this because we believe strong families are the center of a strong community.

Child abuse is preventable, yet there were 6,213 confirmed child abuse cases in Tarrant County in 2015. How many others went unreported? Our hope and vision is to prevent child abuse by providing prevention and treatment programs that address the whole family in a way that helps build healthier, happier lives. You can help a child and help a family.

The Parenting Center serves 14,000 to 18,000 clients each year, from all income levels and social groups, across Tarrant County and the surrounding area. Some of the services we provide include evidence-based parenting programs, play therapy for children experiencing trauma, individual and family counseling for parents who are working on being better parents, in-home parent education, and marriage and relationship skills. We have programs for anyone from infants to great-grandparents.
