Arlington, Texas, United States, May 5, 2024 / PR Free / Trinity Kids Inc. is proud to be the recipient of a $10,000 grant from the Texas Bar Foundation to support its new Family Preservation and Mentoring program. The program provides a Texas Court System approved parenting class, called Families Count, for parents who are on the verge of losing their children to Child Protective Services or working to regain custody.
Since its inception in 1965, the Texas Bar Foundation has awarded more than $27 million in grants to law related programs. Supported by members of the State Bar of Texas, the Texas Bar Foundation is the nation's largest charitably-funded bar foundation.
The mission of the Texas Bar Foundation is to provide funding to enhance the rule of law and the system of justice in Texas, especially for programs that relate to legal assistance for the underserved, the administration of justice, ethics in the legal profession, the encouragement of legal research, publications and forums, and education of the third branch of government.
Families Count curriculum, developed by Lifeline Children and Family Service, www.lifelinecfs.org, is a 6-week course taught by trinity Kids volunteers and provides each parent with a mentor. Each week the families also
receive dinner and childcare.
The curriculum provides parents the basics of child development, so they will have appropriate expectations of their children, provide appropriate, non-aggressive discipline, learn ways to manage and correct misbehavior, recognize their strengths and use them when parenting, share local resources that deal with parenting and family issues and connect them with other parents for support and encouragement.
