2INgage brings the best of two experienced community, nonprofit organizations to serve our most vulnerable children and families. 

Through a contract with the State of Texas, 2INgage is the Community-Based Care (CBC) contractor in Region 2, a 30-county area that includes Wichita Falls and Abilene.

Partnership Synergy

This partnership has combined child welfare experience of more than 95 years and will further our community’s pursuit of caring for our children and families with integrity and success.
2INgage is committed to these core principles:

1. INform and empower network agencies to see themselves as part of that community and therefore take responsibility along with the community for those children.

2. INspire a more positive, performance-driven system for families and children.

3. INgage Community to understand that the children entering the foster care system from their community are their children.

Texas Region 2

Serving the 30 Counties of Texas Region 2

2INgage partners with the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services to offer case management, foster care placement, and support services to children and youth in Region 2, a 30-county area that includes Abilene and Wichita Falls. 2INgage serves as the Single Source Continuum Contractor for foster care and support services, while also providing case management services through Stage II of Community-Based Care. Stage II of CBC includes services for families and increased permanency outcomes for children.

When children are removed from their homes by the courts in Region 2, they are placed into DFPS custody and referred to 2INgage in these counties for case management services. 2INgage works with children and their parents towards addressing the risk and safety issues that led to the removal, with the goal of returning the children home safely and quickly. For children who cannot return home, 2INgage works toward a timely adoption or other permanency option.
