Bringing Families Together

Bringing Families Together is a community-integrated program that combines efforts of the Vickery Meadow Youth Development Foundation, Injury Prevention Center of Greater Dallas, and Child Abuse Prevention (CAP) Center. The program seeks to prevent the cycle of abuse for vulnerable families by reducing family and parental isolation, increasing support networks, teaching positive parenting skills, and providing access to community resources. The program includes the provision of the Parents Anonymous Parent-led Support Groups and Triple P Parenting Program.  For more information, please contact Sheryldine Samuel, Director of Community Education and Outreach at ssamuel@childabuseprevetioncenter.org or 214-370-9810.
