Our 90 years of experience in child and family services guide our current efforts to improve child well-being here in Tarrant County. We use evidence-based, research-tested programs focused on prevention and early intervention services that support child development and improve the behavioral and mental health of children.
Our investments in kids and families start by assessing how well a child or family is functioning during daily life. Let us demonstrate by using a simple analogy we use with children every day: The Engine Check.
If YOU were an engine in a vehicle, how well would your engine be running?
At Lena Pope, our teams meet kids and families where they are to partner with them to get their engines back to running just right.
Child Well-Being
At Lena Pope, we believe that children possess unlimited potential and are worthy of our investments. But we know that children in our community face adversity and that reducing the damaging effects of these negative experiences is critical to adult success. Promoting child well-being involves understanding and addressing child, youth, and caregiver functioning in physical, behavioral, social, and cognitive areas.
Lena Pope uses nine decades of experience in child and family services to inform our current efforts to improve child well-being here in Tarrant County.
