Who We Are
Texas Working At the Intersections for Safe Families (Texas WAIS) cohort started with six Texas emergent leaders who were brought together for training, strategic planning, sisterhood and the creation of a new initiative to improve Texas child welfare. Texas WAIS aims to be a leader in re-imagining the child welfare system and domestic violence system responses to keeping families safe through a race equity lens.

Our Vision
Elevating the needs of families of color to ensure equitable systems for all by creating a new way of partnering with communities, built on the foundation of their unique voices, perspectives and opinions.
Our Commitment
“Nothing about us, without us, is for us!”
We are committed to convening leaders working at the intersection of domestic violence and child welfare to reimagine, in partnership with communities, the kinds of services needed to enhance these systems’ ability to prevent and respond to family violence in positive innovative ways.
