About CHRISTIAN WORKS FOR CHILDREN INC

ChristianWorks for Children (doing business as ChristianWorks) is a Dallas-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 1967 that provides faith‑based counseling, adoption and family support services across the Dallas–Fort Worth area. The organization operates CounselingWorks (sliding-scale counseling and sponsored care), AdoptionWorks (a licensed child‑placing agency), GriefWorks (free grief support groups), and Camp Sunrise, a free bereavement camp for children and teens. ChristianWorks combines clinical mental‑health services with family education and adoption/post‑adoption supports to help children, birth families, and adoptive families navigate trauma, loss, pregnancy decisions, and family transition. Programs are offered in English and Spanish, include free support groups and sliding‑scale fees, and the organization maintains active fundraising and donor‑support initiatives to keep services affordable and accessible.

Notable achievements

AdoptionWorks has provided child‑placing services since 1967 and reports having placed more than 800 children since its founding; the program operates as a fully licensed child‑placing agency serving families within a large regional radius.

Camp Sunrise (bereavement camp)

Launched as a free, weekend‑long bereavement camp for children and teens, Camp Sunrise provides grief education, peer bonding, and therapeutic activities; the program has been developed into an ongoing annual offering and was secured as an organizational mark in 2024.

Crisis and community response

ChristianWorks has mobilized rapid counseling and support after local tragedies (including offering free counseling to families, first responders and affected employees following the Allen outlet mall shooting) and maintains partnerships and donor matches to fund emergency mental‑health services.
