Our Philosophy
Kids Family Network is not just for kids. We are champions for children, teens, families and communities. Our guiding philosophy is to always do whatever it takes to help children and teens successfully overcome the toughest odds and create bright futures.
We assist the child or teen by empowering the entire family and support system to become stable, self-sufficient and caring members of their communities. Kids Family Network’s mission is based upon the belief that the best place for children to grow up is in a family and the most effective way to ensure children’s safety, permanency, and well-being is to provide services that engage, involve, strengthen, and support families.
Treatment Model
The Treatment Model that Kids Family Network is utilizing in our program with all children/youth is the evidence based model: Trauma Systems Therapy for Foster Care (TST-FC).
TST-FC as an evidence-based treatment model that is rooted in trauma informed care and it has been proven through research and practice to meet the physical, emotional, social, spiritual, and well-being for youth in care.

Ms. T. Bowie, Founder and Owner
Ms. Bowie was born in Millington, TN to a military family and was raised in Texas. She started off as a nurse for many years then eventually obtained her degree in Healthcare Administration. She has served and advocated for healthcare for many years. She especially loved working with the geriatric population. She was later called to assist with a Foster Care Agency in which she found her passion and dedication for abused/neglected children.
Ms. Bowie has a passion for helping others. With a high level of determination and fight, she believes her path never just happens. She started working as a case management and later became an Administrator for a Child Placement Agency. From there she created many systems to aid in the foster care process.
Ms. Bowie founded Kids Family Network in 2022 and partnered with local churches in the DFW area where she continues to be a voice to the community. She states she doesn’t want to have just an agency. She wants an agency where foster parents and children voices are BOTH heard. She wants to be a support system to the foster parents and listen to their needs, to change the narrative of foster care.
Ms. Bowie has three beautiful children whom she loves and adores.
