Here’s how Safe Place works:

Step One – A young person enters a Safe Place and asks for help.

Step Two – The site employee finds a comfortable place for the youth to wait while they call the licensed Safe Place agency. For the greater San Antonio area that is Roy Maas Youth Alternatives (RMYA).

Step Three – An RMYA staff member will talk with the youth to get more information and explain that an SAPD officer can escort them to the RMYA Bridge Emergency shelter.  If the child is agreeable, the RMYA staff will contact SAPD to transport the youth to the shelter. 

Step Four – Once at the Bridge, direct-care staff and counselors meet with the youth and provide support. Agency staff ensures the youth and their families receive the help and professional services they need.

This program is for youth under the age of 18 in need of immediate help and safety.

Communities In Schools programs surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life. Our evidence-based approach, adapted to meet each community’s unique needs, is the basis for our success.

Basic Needs: A student cannot focus in the classroom if he or she is hungry, cold or tired, or cannot see the board. Site coordinators see to it that students' basic needs are met each day.

Enrichment: Our Site coordinators enroll students in a wide variety of after-school and summer programs, field trips and youth conferences to help them gain experience that is essential to meeting college and career goals.

Academic Assistance: Our site coordinators work hard to ensure that students have the resources to progress academically. From providing students with tutors to finding and creating quiet spaces where students can study, we do whatever it takes to create an optimal learning environment for our students.

Life Skills: Through one-on-one workshops, team building, and guest speakers, we work with students to develop social-emotional learning, character education, social skills building, and conflict resolution.

Behavioral Interventions: Many of our students face and overcome difficult obstacles in their lives. However, their survival skills aren’t always effective in the classroom or in the workplace. Our program teaches students positive ways to cope with anger, conflict resolution, and other strategies to keep them focused on school.

Family Engagement: Site coordinators connect families with counselors and social workers to make sure that home is a healthy, nurturing environment where a student can feel safe.

Men

The E-motion intensive outpatient program (IOP) group therapy process for men provides a unique opportunity for men to explore their mental health and addiction issues in an engaging, nontraditional setting. The physical activities allow them to confront their emotions in an active way that promotes self-exploration, learning new skills and techniques, and building meaningful connections with other men. 

In addition, the experiential nature of the group therapy process allows for a measure of trust and understanding to be built between participants as they work through their emotional issues together. This, in combination with the technology of our wellness lab, allows men a unique and effective process to learn self-regulation and improve their overall life experiences.

Women

Our intensive outpatient experience for women offers an experiential group therapy process specifically tailored to meet the needs of women. Our holistic approach provides a safe and supportive environment where members can share their experiences, learn positive coping strategies, and find understanding in the words of other women on similar journeys to self-discovery and healing.

Teens

The E-motion intensive outpatient therapy process for teens is designed to capitalize on the incredible plasticity of the adolescent brain. Our protocols that ignite and support neuroplasticity are especially effective with this population.

Teenagers in our group process learn to identify their individual needs and recognize their potential. Through this program, teens learn to understand themselves better, build effective communication skills, and develop positive coping strategies. The therapy process includes individualized assessments and regularly scheduled group sessions that provide a safe space for teens to share their experiences and receive support from peers and therapists.

We designed the therapeutic techniques used in the group sessions to help teens explore, identify, and manage their thoughts and feelings in a supportive environment. During the program, teens also learn how to recognize triggers that may lead to negative behavior, build self-esteem, develop healthier relationships with family members and peers, and make positive choices for their future.

The program is tailored to the needs of each teen and provides an opportunity for them to become more confident, empowered, and successful in life. At the end of the program, teens will better understand themselves and their capabilities as they move forward with their lives.

If you or someone you know is experiencing symptoms of a mental or behavioral health condition, not having someone to confide in or not knowing how to navigate available resources can make matters even worse.

Case Management

Following the ACT model, we have case management teams that provide services to all of the clients assigned to the team. Each client has multiple case managers working with them on a weekly rotation.

Our clients benefit by having multiple direct care staff providing input and strategies to best assist them reach their goals. Our clients have continuity of care when a case manager may be absent due to illness or vacation, as well as moving to a different position and no longer providing case management services. Each team has a Team Leader who coordinates the recovery and treatment plan of each client with the case managers and coordinates with the other community providers the client is utilizing for services.

Psychiatrist

We have agreements with psychiatrists to see clients who are receiving services from True MHS. We do not provide psychiatric services directly through True MHS. Our agreements with psychiatrists enable us to schedule an initial appointment within a few days of intake to our case management services, rather than clients waiting several months for an initial appointment.

This is extremely beneficial for our new clients who begin our services following an inpatient hospital admission. The client can be seen within 7 days after their discharge date for their follow-up psychiatric appointment. Then the client will be scheduled with the psychiatrist for monthly follow-up appointments. If a client has an outpatient psychiatrist that they have a relationship with and want to continue their services, we are still able to provide case management services and the client does not need to change doctors.

To help our clients achieve success, our case managers:

• Coordinate the transition from the hospital after discharge to the client’s home
• Teach coping strategies for experienced symptoms
• Teach awareness of triggers for experienced symptoms
• Teach coping strategies to address triggers
• Educate about the benefits of taking medications
• Assist and educate clients to complete doctor appointments
• Assist and educate clients to fill prescriptions at pharmacies
• Substance abuse education and assistance with rehabilitation
• Teach interpersonal and social skills
• Help secure safe housing
• Teach budgeting and money management skills
• Educate about community resources and how to access them
• Assist clients access resources for employment
• Assist clients access resources for education
• And teach our clients anything else they need for their recovery and success

In addition to case managers meeting directly with clients in the community, we provide 24-hour crisis support to assist our clients after business hours.

Play is a natural way for children to learn from and communicate with adults. Research has shown that play is an essential part of child development. Through play, children can learn creativity, self-control, emotional expression, and social skills.

There are many different treatment modalities for children referred to as play therapy that are utilized by family therapists, social workers, counselors, and other mental health professionals.

All of these methods use play as a way of engaging children in the therapeutic process.

Also, because children learn and process experiences through play, play therapy is used to communicate with children and help them with a variety of issues.

You can view an informational video about play therapy on YouTube for more information.

Art Therapy Is a form of psychotherapy based on the process of creating visual images through drawing, painting, sculpting, and the use of other art materials. In art therapy, emotions and thoughts are expressed symbolically through the creation of personal imagery. Art bypasses verbal defenses and limitations, allowing for insight to occur in a non-threatening way. The art produced can be reflected upon, and with guidance from the art therapist, one can explore the meaning of the images and work through areas of conflict and distress.

We currently only accept the following insurances:

• TX Medicaid
• Community First
• Blue Cross Blue Shield
• Aetna Better Health of TX
• Optum

Please call for private-pay fees.

To improve the lives of the foster care community, Artvango has collaborated with community partners in providing art therapy, play therapy, and workshops to help spread the word on how trauma affects children while offering effective parenting tools when working with children from hard places.

Continuing education credits (CEUs) are provided to social workers and licensed professional counselors.

Please call or email for further information.

All behavior has meaning. It is a way of communicating feelings and needs. So-called problem behavior is one way a child expresses conflict, which is difficult to conceptualize and verbalize. A child can channel and give conceptual form to negative feelings and behaviors through working with art materials. The clarification and responses of an art therapist facilitates the child’s awareness of patterns, intentions, and the meaning of behavior.

A child-centered approach curriculum addresses social and developmental issues for children and teens in the foster care system. This curriculum incorporates culturally-rooted concepts and values of each individual through indigenous teachings, writings, and expressive modalities.

In addition, clients will have the opportunity to learn meditation, guided imagery, and the calming effects of quieting the mind through meditation techniques.

Licensed professional counselors provide confidential psychotherapy sessions to individuals, families, and in group settings to those who are experiencing behavioral, social, or challenging situations as it relates to being in the foster care system. Counseling session objectives are to strengthen personal awareness, nurture, heal, foster positive social changes, improve family communication, and expand and deepen their personal skills needed to help cope with the challenges that come from being the foster care system.

In group therapy, a client is paired with other clients that are experiencing similar issues and guided through productively discussing what they are going through in a safe, supportive, and confidential environment.

Though every client involved in the group may be at different stages of their treatment process, discussing shared experience and having others to relate to can greatly relieve feelings of isolation or disconnection.

With time, clients can learn to find validation in the balance between their own and others’ experiences and develop coping skills to maintain a healthy and stable life.
