Programs and activities

RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT PROGRAMS INCLUDE LIFE-CHANGING WORK BEING DONE AT OUR NEW LIFE AND KRAUSE CHILDREN'S CENTERS THAT PROVIDE A SAFE PLACE FOR GIRLS FROM ACROSS TEXAS TO HEAL FROM CHILDHOOD TRAUMAS. UPBRING'S CHILDREN'S SHELTERS AND TRANSITIONAL FOSTER CARE PROGRAMS PROVIDE CARE AND SUPPORT FROM OUR COMPASSIONATE STAFF AND NURTURING FOSTER PARENTS UNTIL THEIR FAMILIES CAN BE LOCATED.
EDUCATION SERVICES INCLUDE HEADSTART AND EARLY HEADSTART PRESCHOOL PROGRAMS THAT HELP CHILDREN FROM LOW-INCOME FAMILIES PREPARE TO START KINDERGARTEN READY TO LEARN. EDUCATION SERVICES ALSO INCLUDE PROGRAMS AT UPBRING SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCES IN AUSTIN. THE SCHOOL PROVIDES EDUCATION SERVICES TO CHILDREN AGES SIX-WEEKS TO ELEMENTARY AGE, RESERVING SPACES FOR CHILDREN IN THE FOSTER CARE SYSTEM.
THE OFFICE OF REFUGEE RESETTLEMENT (ORR) IN TEXAS AND THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES HELPS NEW POPULATIONS INTEGRATE INTO AMERICAN LIFE BY CONNECTING THEM TO CRITICAL RESOURCES. UPBRING OPERATES FOUR ORR PROGRAMS IN TEXAS FOR CHILDREN WHO HAVE MIGRATED TO THE U.S. ALONE OR WITH OTHER MINORS. RATHER THAN BEING DEPORTED, CHILDREN WHO CROSS THE BORDER ALONE FROM CENTRAL AMERICA ARE TURNED OVER TO ORR, HELD IN DESIGNATED FACILITIES AND PROVIDED WITH SERVICES UNTIL THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS CAN BE LOCATED. THIS EXPERIENCE ALONE CAN BE SCARY, BUT THE STAFF AT UPBRING SHELTERS PROVIDE THE CHILDREN WITH AROU
COMMUNITY SERVICES ARE PROVIDED PRIMARILY IN LUBBOCK, TEXAS AND HELP THOSE IN NEED WITH EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE FOR FOOD, UTILITIES, PRESCRIPTIONS, FREE HEALTH SCREENINGS AND CONSULTATIONS.
COMMUNITY INTEGRATION AND INNOVATION INITIATIVES: AS FAMILIES CONTINUE TO FACE THE STRESSORS OF POVERTY, DRUG ADDICTION, ISOLATION AND OTHER RISK FACTORS THAT CAN LEAD TO THE ABUSE OF CHILDREN, OUR ATTENTION AND RESOURCES WILL CONTINUE TO BE FOCUSED ON DEVELOPING A FRAMEWORK DESIGNED TO DRIVE TRANSFORMATIVE CHANGE IN BREAKING THE CYCLE OF CHILD ABUSE THROUGH: INNOVATIVE PROGRAMS, NEW PARTNERSHIPS AND AN EXPANDING NETWORK OF COMMUNITY SERVICES.
