The Ready, Set, Go! Parenting Program has provided me with valuable guidance on enhancing my day-to-day interactions with my children.”

I have gained the skills to effectively manage, understand, and respond to their behaviors and attitudes.”

The coaching and counseling sessions have shifted my perspective on discipline, focusing on values rather than solely relying on personal experiences.”

I am now learning to engage in conversations with my children that emphasize the “why” behind their actions and choices rather than solely focusing on the consequences of not meeting expectations. This shift has positively influenced how I discipline my kids, and I receive practical guidance on improving my parenting style.”

Katy Cares was founded in 2016 by a passionate and diverse group of business professionals, church leaders, nonprofit organizers, and community advocates, all deeply committed to serving their community. Recognizing the growing social crisis impacting single mothers and their children—who have often faced traumatic events and life-threatening situations—this dedicated team pooled their expertise to create a structured and comprehensive response.

Understanding the profound and lasting effects of trauma on an individual’s mental, physical, social, emotional, and spiritual well-being, they established Katy Cares with a shared commitment to provide vital support for single-parent families in crisis. This organization was born from a collective desire to offer hope, healing, and practical assistance to those most in need. More information about the Katy Cares program.
