Dallas Association for Parent Education Charity Profile

DAPE is on the front lines of abuse prevention. Statistics show that the one of the best ways to prevent abuse is education. Since 1959 DAPE has been providing community based low cost parenting classes.Parent education works! When services such as parent education are offered and are of the appropriate quality, several studies indicate that outcomes for children and families improve, parents feel greater competence, and are less likely to abuse and neglect children DAPE has also been recognized as an organization making a difference. In 1998, DAPE was nominated for the Best Practices by the Community Council of Greater Dallas. Dape is committed to the families in our community. We know that education makes a difference. Starting with pre-natal education and continuing educational opportunities until the child reaches 12, we have assisted families in getting the best start possible. Often parents don't understand child development and that leads the ineffective and sometimes abusive behavior.
