Summary



STARRY nurtures children, strengthens families, and restores hope through counseling, family support, foster care, and adoption. We provide high quality services that have a lasting impact on Texas families. Although we have separate programs we are tied together in our mission to increase the amount of Texas families who are connected and thriving.

STARRY offers comprehensive counseling that's guided by grace and love. We also provide compassionate guidance to families as they navigate the foster care and adoption process. In our Fatherhood Program we take a father positive approach to champion the work that Dads are doing. All of our Programs share the belief that our communities deserve an invested, trauma-informed, and high quality agency to help their families learn and grow. We hope you will learn more and partner with us!

STARRY provides trauma-informed care to clients by using Trust-Based Relational Intervention®. We work to meet the needs of the body, soul, and spirit of children by using the TBRI® principles of connecting, empowering, and correcting.

STARRY's Foster Care program is partially funded by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services and our Counseling Program is partially funded by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Service- Prevention and Early Intervention- FAYS Program.

STARRY currently serves children on an emergency basis from newborn to 17 years old who have been removed from their homes by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (TDFPS) due to abuse and/or neglect.

STARRY also provides crisis intervention services and solution-focused counseling in 32 Texas counties. Services are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week and include individual, family, and group counseling, along with child abuse prevention services.

History

The services currently offered by STARRY began when Texas Baptist Children's Home (TBCH) opened an emergency shelter for children in the 1970s. On March 1, 1991, TBCH began non-residential community-based counseling services to children and families in the local community. In 2001, that program became known as STARRY, an independent 501(c)3 nonprofit agency. STARRY added foster care to its services in 2004 and adoption services in 2006.
