Are you a parent or an expectant parent? Dallas College would like to support you in caring for your family.
The Family Care Program at Dallas College is dedicated to supporting students who are parents or expectant parents by addressing family care needs and connecting them with valuable services. The program offers family support classes focused on parenting, nutrition, wellness, and financial literacy.
Family Care Support Services
Student parents who apply and are approved for Family Care have access to a team of caring Dallas College staff, including a student care coordinator, success coach, professional licensed counselor and academic tutor. These dedicated staff members work together as a team to provide each parent with individualized Family Care and support services.
