Wade Wellness Services is excited to share that it has received a grant from the Texas Bar Foundation for its Family First Program. This grant will allow the organization to broaden its services to better support children and families in need within the community.
The Family First Program offers vital assistance to indigent family members pursuing custody of children whose parents are unable to fulfill their caregiving responsibilities due to abandonment, death, incarceration, substance abuse, or mental health conditions.
Besides helping with custody issues, the program acts as a court-appointed guardian ad litem for indigent children involved in juvenile proceedings. It also assists adults with mental illness whose children are under the care of the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services.
Jenny Bratton, Executive Director of the Navarro County Child Advocacy Center and respected board member of WWS, shared the following statement regarding the impact of Wade Wellness Services in Navarro County.
“Wade Wellness Services (WWS) is recognized as one of the most respected service organizations in Navarro County. Families who have struggled through the court system without adequate support or legal guidance are able to find advocacy, direction, and assistance through WWS programs. When WWS becomes involved with a child and family, they work alongside local attorneys who are willing to take a lower rate of compensation due to their belief in WWS to help cases progress more efficiently and effectively, often reducing unnecessary time and expense for all parties involved.”
WWS offers comprehensive assistance in custody cases involving children awaiting legal permanency, provides guidance in juvenile matters where courts require support in engaging families to reduce or prevent recurrent delinquent behavior, and delivers counseling services for children and families facing crises associated with court intervention.
Wade Wellness Services is frequently recognized for its contributions within Navarro County courtrooms.
Established in 1965, the Texas Bar Foundation has provided over $29 million in grants to programs focused on legal matters. Supported by members of the State Bar of Texas, it stands as the largest bar organization in the United States funded through charitable contributions.
