The Texas DFPS Division of Prevention and Early Intervention consolidates all state prevention and early intervention programs.

• Community Based Family Services (CBFS) - contracts with community agencies to serve families who have been investigated by Child Protective Services but where the allegations were unsubstantiated.
• Community-Based Child Abuse Prevention (CBCAP) - seeks to increase community awareness of existing prevention services, strengthen community and parental involvement in child abuse prevention efforts, and encourage families to engage in services that are already available.
• Community Youth Development (CYD) - assists communities in designing comprehensive approaches to support families and enhance the positive development of youth.
• Family Strengthening - provides proven services to effectively increase family protective factors.
• Texas Families: Together and Safe - allocates grants to community based prevention programs for family support services designed to alleviate stress and promote parental competencies and behaviors that will increase the ability of families to successfully nurture their children; enable families to use other resources and opportunities available in the community; and create support networks that enhance child-rearing abilities of parents.
• Youth Resiliency - provides proven services to increase youth protective factors.
• Tertiary Child Abuse Prevention - provides services designed to prevent recurrences of child maltreatment to families who no longer require the support of Child Protective Services.
