century After months of research, the committee agreed on the following statements • education at all levels is critical to an individual's effectiveness as they move through the life cycle, • healthful family life encourages and supports education, • a community's health and well-being are a reflection of its citizen's health and well- being, • conscious, effectively integrated support programs for families contribute to citizens' health and well-being, and education improves as the health and well being of the citizenry improves These facts led to the development of the Family Resource Center Task Force whose mission is to ensure that all families have access to information and assistance regarding the education, health, and general well being of their children by developing and utilizing a Family Resource Center Thus, the idea for a Family Resource Center did not develop because of a specific problem It began as a proactive decision to shape our community We have taken an asset oriented approach that views families, organizations, and institutions, formal and informal, as resources that can contribute to the health of the community II Target Population The Family Resource Center Task Force visualized a family life center that would serve as a hub for educational, support, and information and referral services for all parents and families in the City of Denton Through this approach families, schools, and family service agencies can become partners in a proactive approach to family development Denton is a city of 66,270 residents located 37 miles north-northwest of Dallas and 35 miles north-northeast of Fort Worth Denton is the county seat of Denton County, the fastest growing county in the state of Texas (1990 Census) The ethnic composition is 81% Anglo, 9% Black, 2% Asian and Pacific Islander, and 8% Hispanic The Hispanic population is rapidly increasing mirroring the population trend throughout Texas The projected population for Denton in the year 2000 is 79,385 The median family income is $35,444 and 10% of Denton families live below the poverty line According to 1990 Census 18% of the 13,786 families in Denton are single parent households Of the female head of households with children five and younger, 54 7% live in poverty The Denton Independent School District has approximately 12,500 students with a longitudinal dropout rate of 1 4% However, 30% of students have been identified at risk of dropping out In addition, DISD has assessed the school readiness of kindergarten and first grade students and 23% were not school ready The task force estimates that 1300 parents and 2600 children will be served this year Parents and families will be recruited through schools and universities, social service organizations, civic groups, religious organizations/institutions, mass media outlets, business organizations III Goals and Objectives The goal of the Denton Family Resource Center (DFRC) is to strengthen and support families DFRC seeks to provide assistance to build family skills and assist parents in improving their capacities to be supportive and nurturing parents, encourage parent involvement in children's learning, development, and education, help parents develop and strengthen support networks that enhance effective parenting, encourage development and effective use of community resources for

will be initiated at the conference to improve community life for families, to improve access for family members, and to facilitate families advocating for themselves and their children The task force has completed a needs assessment conducted in coordination with The University of North Texas Survey Research Center that included key informant interviews, focus groups with hard to reach parents and residents, a random sample survey of families and a family service provider survey Results from the needs assessment and collaboration conference will help provide direction and focus for the goals and objectives of DFRC DFRC has implemented a five week series of workshops specially designed for new parents Topics include Infant Care & Safety, Baby Development 0-12 months, Feeding and Nutrition, Infant Child Care and Infant Massage All workshops will be held at First United Methodist Church and will include lunch for the families Upcoming groups will be available in Spanish and Chinese IV
