Our BHS objective is to come alongside caregivers and children to help fill their toolbox with new, highly adaptive coping skills. We refer to these as “cognitive” coping skills. Children often behave the way they do because they don’t know how to respond any other way. As a member of our BHS team, your efforts are focused on helping children both learn and follow new, specific, cognitive steps that allow them to get their needs met without resorting to the use of familiar maladaptive emotionally driven coping skills.

Community-Based Care is Texas’ regional approach to foster care, designed to keep decision-making closer to the children, families and communities being served. Through this model, local organizations coordinate care, services and support to help children achieve safety, stability and permanency.

Our mission has always been about creating programs and services that would help kids and strengthen families who were impacted by the child welfare system. We’ve realized there are many more children and families in our community who are not part of child welfare but are still dealing with many of the same issues. We’ve made services of our current programs, like our professional staff and licensed therapist, available to other qualifying children and families in our community.

Family Centered Treatment is an intensive in-home therapy model that helps families build stability, strengthen relationships and reduce the need for out-of-home placements. Through consistent support and practical skill-building, FCT empowers families to create lasting positive change in their own homes.

We serve children entering foster care by recruiting, training, licensing, and supporting foster families. The goal is to transition these children back into a healthy environment with their biological families. Or, if that is not possible, provide a safe, nurturing home from which they can launch into a successful adulthood.

Healthy adults often have several common denominators, including an education, solid practical life skills, emotional intelligence, social skills, and role models, to lead the way. Most foster children have few of these and are not prepared to make the transition into adulthood. Therefore, acquiring these skills is even more important for youth in the foster care system, including those at Arrow’s Crossroads Community, our transitional living program serving young women preparing for adulthood.

Arrow Center for Education Schools meet every child where they are as learners, academically, socially, and functionally, we make change through defined best practice and the building of invaluable relationships. All our efforts are focused on assisting the children we serve to realize their best potential by removing barriers, creating opportunities, building skills, and nourishing their individual gifts.

Therapeutic services provide children, youth and families with the support they need to heal, build stability and strengthen overall well-being. Through trauma-informed care, counseling and coordinated support, these services help individuals and families work toward healthier outcomes.
