ChildBuilders
For 50 years, ChildBuilders has been committed to the mental wellbeing of Houston’s children and families. We have evolved from advocating for vulnerable children's psychiatric care to a broader focus on preventing abuse and trauma. Our goal is to foster communities where children mature into resilient adults who care about their families & communities, engage in civic life, and nurture the next generation to do the same. Last year, we served 34,330 children and adults. Since our inception, we have reduced the risk of trauma and increased resilience nearly one million students by supporting over 30,000 educators and parents in Greater Houston.
Our programs promote healthy relationships between children and adults in schools, childcare centers, and family environments, and include:
• Stand Strong • Stay Safe: Equips children with assertiveness, emotional control, and conflict resolution skills to prevent abuse and violence. It also prepares parents and educators to protect and support them.
• Parents Under Construction: Provides teens and young adults with parenting education, covering infant care to healthy discipline techniques, and fosters positive parent-child relationships throughout the lifespan.
• Build to Nurture: A classroom-based program in which children learn the social and emotional skills they need to become empathetic individuals today and nurturing parents in the future.
• Building Pathways to Healthy Minds: A growing collection of workshops to help parents, caregivers, educators, and community members learn about children’s mental health, the effects of trauma, and promoting mentally healthy parenting and caregiving. Our Eventbrite page highlights many of these workshops on a regular basis.
