Trinity Kids has been selected to receive a grant for a new Family Preservation and Mentoring Program. This program is designed to help parents meet court-mandated parenting training.

 
Arlington, Texas, United States, April 29, 2024 /PressReleasePoint/ 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.

In 1965, 255 attorneys pledged to contribute to the newly formed Foundation, thus becoming the Charter Members of the Texas Bar Foundation, www.txbf.org. The mission of the Texas Bar Foundation is to solicit charitable contributions and 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. Since inception, the trustees of the Texas Bar Foundation have awarded more than $24 million in grants to charitable organizations across Texas. Grants are made possible by the generosity of the Fellows and charitable gifts from individuals and law firms across the state. The Texas Bar Foundation and its members are committed to the mission.

Families Count curriculum, developed by Lifeline Children and Family Services, 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 and ways to manage and correct misbehavior; help parents 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.

Trinity Kids, Inc. is a non-profit organization, based in Arlington, Texas, that has provided free summer camps and weekend events for abused, neglected and abandoned children in North Central Texas, since 2002. Now, Trinity Kids will be able to help families struggling to keep their families together.
