Family Compass is a small to mid-sized nonprofit based in Dallas, Texas, focused on preventing child abuse and neglect and strengthening families in North Texas. It serves vulnerable children at risk and supports their parents through one-on-one education, encouragement, and parenting tools, using a holistic wrap-around approach and a continuum of care. The organization operates two complementary prevention models, Home Mentoring and Community Education & Outreach, designed to address root causes such as parenting skill gaps, high stress, and adverse home environments. 

Services are offered at no cost and participation is voluntary, with staff guiding clients through evidence-based curricula; bilingual staff are available across programs to meet diverse needs. Family Compass aims to create sustainable, intergenerational change that enhances resilience, self-esteem, social connection, emotional health, and stability for children, and it emphasizes preventing trauma by reducing involvement with the CPS system. A recent development is the January 2025 announcement that Erin Merryn will speak at the nonprofit’s Seventh Annual North Star Luncheon in Dallas, reflecting ongoing community engagement.
