DALLAS – Salesmanship Club Youth and Family Centers (SCYFC) announces the opening of the Family Works Center, yet another means for the charity to serve at-risk children.

The Family Works Center, located near Bachman Lake, includes intensive day treatment for troubled adolescents, a comprehensive assessment program for young children and skill-based training for children and families to encourage language and social development.

“This Center has come together over night. Last year at this time, it was only a vision,” said Steve Boyd, chairman, SCYFC. “This year, these dynamic new programs have begun serving families in need.”

This new facility for kids (birth through age 15) and their families will house three programs, combining prevention, early intervention and treatment services:

“We seek to be innovators in the business of helping families and kids in Dallas,” said Bobby Crotty, president, Salesmanship Club of Dallas. “This is just one more way we’re on the cutting edge of helping Dallas families with intensive therapy, assessments and parenting classes – regardless of their ability to pay for these services.”

The Salesmanship Club has served children in many ways over the past 85 years. SCYFC operates innovative programs for at-risk children and their families, including a laboratory school in Oak Cliff and family therapy centers in Oak Cliff and Northwest Dallas. The new Family Works Center is located just miles from the site of the original Salesmanship Club Youth Camp, the first chartered in Texas more than eight decades ago.

“Our work is never done,” said Kent Skipper, PhD, executive director, SCYFC. “Thanks to the dedicated and generous efforts of the Salesmanship Club and our many community supporters, our arms are extended to even more families through this new Center.”
