Nonprofit Overview
Mission: Through strength-based partnership ach brings resources and skills to children and families struggling with life's challenges. Together we develop solutions that create safety, hope, love and the capacity to thrive.
Programs: Our community our kids (ocok) is the division of ach child and family services operating community based care (formerly known as foster care redesign) under contract with the state of texas. Ocok manages the network of providers in region 3b, which consists of seven counties (palo pinto, parker, tarrant, erath, hood, somervell, and johnson. ) by focusing on capacity building, accountability of outcomes and program innovations, significant system improvements have been made in region 3b. Community based care is working, and it's vital for our children that it continues. In 2017, ocok served 2,806 children while managing a network of 122 service providers. 426 children were adopted across the network.
foster care and adoption: foster care provides a stable and safe environment for children and youth, ages 0 to 17, who have been abused, neglected or have experienced family crisis, to begin to heal and thrive. In 2017, we served 282 children and youth in foster care. 66 children were adopted. At the end of 2017, ach supervised 95 active, licensed foster homes.
services to at-risk youth (star) are designed as preservation services, allowing us to engage with families at-risk for child abuse or neglect. Youth and family counseling is offered free of charge for youth ages 0 to 17 years and their families. Skill builder classes are offered free of charge for youth and parents of youth 10 to 17 years, including teenage mothers. In 2017, we served 1,614 youth and families through this program.
