AVANCE
AVANCE (A-vahn-ceh), from the Spanish word “advance” or “progress”, has been serving the needs of hardest-to-reach families, primarily Hispanic parents and children, since 1973.
Founded in Texas, AVANCE works with poor and marginalized communities to promote better parenting, school readiness, literacy, health and personal development.
The AVANCE-Houston’s Healthy Marriage programs focus on improving the interpersonal relationships of married couples, engaged couples or couples planning to marry, singles, teens or young adults, and men who are already disadvantaged by overwhelming impediments that put added stress upon their relationships. Participants come to dynamic, interactive weekly sessions presented in a support-group setting that validates their personal experiences and life-coping mechanisms and provides them with information on healthy strategies for dealing with anger, stress and conflict.
All AVANCE-Houston programs serve families in northwest Houston. For more information, please contact AVANCE-Houston, Inc: www.avancehouston.org ; (713) 812-0033, fax: (713) 812-9829.
