Collaboration
At the heart of TACFS is partnership and community.
In the words of TACFS Board President, Dr. Wayne Carson, "We are better together." Reflective of the state of Texas, our membership is diverse and deep, serving much of the state. But no matter what differences we may experience, we all seek to serve children, youth, and families, heal trauma, and give every opportunity for bright futures.
We value collaboration so deeply because our success depends on our ability to work together, share our knowledge and experiences, and seek to learn from each other. Our vision is to build a strong network of direct care organizations that can learn from each other and offer support.
Beyond a network of caregivers, we are passionate about supporting member organizations as they strive to build strong partnerships in their communities that surround children, youth, and families. Partnerships with our local governments and elected officials, doctors and nurse, teachers, counselors, families, and other local stakeholders help us create the strongest network of care.
