We partner with others to stop child abuse in Houston.
ESCAPE makes collaborative in-kind agreements as well as contractual agreements with schools and agencies who host our parenting classes onsite. We also network within the community, seeking referrals for individuals who might benefit from our classes.
- For a complete listing of our current collaborators, please see to our Fiscal Year 2008 Partnerships and Collaborations List. (PDF, 16.6KB)
Our parenting classes meet where our students are—everywhere!
Since 1983, when ESCAPE Family Resource Center was founded, we have worked with schools, churches, shelters and community centers throughout Houston to make classes available to families.
- If you know of a church or school that would like to partner with us, please let us know .
Before taking these classes, I would punish and hit my kids. I’ve learned that we have to teach our children. I wish I had taken these classes earlier. They have helped me be a better parent.
