  • Communications Manager Search Profile Dallas, Tx
    COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER SEARCH PROFILE DALLAS, TX May 2020 The Organization TexProtects was founded in 2000 as the Dallas-based Child Abuse Prevention Advocacy Commission (CAPAC) to address the critical need for reform in Dallas County’s Child Protective Services (CPS). Though the organization has evolved since its founding, eventually becoming today’s TexProtects, it consistently utilizes a multifaceted, evidence-based approach to bring awareness to issues surrounding CPS reform, organizing voices speaking to the needs of children at risk of abuse, and aims to activate the most powerful and effective constituency to advocate for change in these issues. Furthermore, TexProtects utilizes short-term solutions to meet the immediate needs of at-risk children, their families and communities while also championing long-term reform by devising scalable and innovative solutions. Ultimately, TexProtects’ goal is to create broad, systematic change via major public policy innovations of child protection systems and to leverage private and public funding to scale high-impact prevention solutions. Click here to learn more about the history of the organization. TexProtects’ Mission TexProtects protects Texas children from the trauma of abuse and neglect and empowers families to thrive through education, research, and advocacy. TexProtects effects change by organizing and educating its members to advocate for increased investments in evidence-based child abuse prevention programs, CPS reforms, and treatment programs to heal abuse victims. TexProtects focuses predominately on five issue areas across the child protection continuum: child abuse prevention; CPS system and workforce; family preservation; foster care; and transition support for foster youth. Impact and Collaboration Recognizing the limitations of a single organization, TexProtects has consistently positioned itself as a coalition-builder and collaborator to advocate on behalf of outcomes for children.
