Family Compass with offices in both Dallas and Plano, Texas, is the only agency in Dallas and Collin Counties with the sole mission to build healthy families and a strong North Texas community by preventing child abuse and neglect. In 2022, Family Compass assisted 2,000 families with their parenting skills, 99% of the children served did not get referred into the Child Protective Services system. All of Family Compass' programs help families from communities in our regional service area; most household incomes are at or below 100% of the poverty threshold.
