Our Programs: Houston

With help from St. John’s Presbyterian Church, Houston became one of the initial sites for the PCHAS Child & Family Program in 2000. In 2007, with support from Memorial Drive Presbyterian Church, PCHAS established a second program at Iglesia Fuente de Esperanza in the Spring Branch area of Houston.

Both programs help families in Harris County and beyond deal with a variety of situations that threaten family stability. Often, families need help as they face a crisis such as death, divorce, illness, violence, homelessness, alcohol/drug abuse and other situations. The Child and Family Program addresses these issues while working to keep families together. We help remove the barriers that can prevent families from receiving the services they need.

Child & Family Specialist Casondra Brown offer family group decision making classes, family therapy and teenage life skill groups at two local high schools. Occasionally she also conducts “family day” workshops for parents and children in the community. In Spring Branch, Nimia Tillmann helps serve the needs of that community with bilingual counseling, information and referrals to other agencies.

Through a merger effective January 1, 2010, the Homes of St. Mark, a well-known charitable children's services agency in Houston, became a division of PCHAS.The Homes of St. Mark program serves:

children who have been removed from their parents and placed in foster and foster-to-adopt homes
children and birth families through our maternity program, in which children are voluntarily placed for adoption, and provide post-adoption services for adult adopted children
families seeking to adopt children, with orientation, training and support groups
adults who were adopted through post adoption services such as search and reunions.
