Hello, precious woman. Your story matters. No one can take that from you. We believe you are here to help navigate the rest of your story.

We understand the reality of working in the industry. We offer counseling and mentorship. We want you to know we are here for you no matter where you are on your journey in life. We would love to have coffee and hear your story and see how we can be of support for you.

Finding community with women who can be trusted and have your best interest at heart is the first step to healing. We are such a community—women who have found ourselves in broken relationships, addiction, loss of hope, and in deep need of healing from the trauma of sexual exploitation. You will find community and support with the NSAGirls.

We offer a bi-weekly support group for your mind, body and soul. We have trauma therapies available along with resources in our community to help you live a whole, healed and productive life after your abuse.

This program is open to any woman or youth (13-18) who has been sexually abused, exploited, or trafficked.

Guardian House can help facilitate the exchange of legal documents.

How to Get Started

  • Both parties must contact Guardian House and schedule an intake interview to enroll in our services. Staff will NOT contact the other party to schedule an intake interview.
  • All paperwork, required documentation and fees from both parties must be submitted before the enrollment process is considered complete.
  • After the enrollment process is complete and before visitation begins, a Child Orientation will be conducted with each child participating in supervised visitation services.
  • After the Child Orientation is complete, both parties will be contacted by phone to let them know that the non-custodial party may now begin requesting visits.
  • In the event that services do not begin, the intake paperwork will only remain on file for six months. After that, the intake interview and intake fee will have to be completed again to have an active intake, or to start services.

Records

Guardian House uses a third party service to provide copies of client records upon receipt of subpoena. Subpoenas must be hand delivered; faxed or emailed subpoenas will not be accepted. The attorney is responsible for paying fees and coordinating delivery of copies with the third party service. Guardian House is not part of this process.

Upon subpoena, the Custodian of Records will testify or make depositions regarding observations made during visits. For court hearings we request that the Custodian of Records be placed on-call, and be notified 30-40 minutes prior to taking the stand.

Fees for Custodian of Records:

Retainer – $750
Preparation & Coordination – $75
On call – $200/day
Court appearance – $100/hour (includes travel time)

A charge of 35% will be added to the total amount if payment is made with less than three business days prior to the appearance of the Custodian of Records.

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.

Safe Place® is a program of National Safe Place Network (NSPN).

Children Matter is the best option for both biological parents and family members by offering consistent visitation (pending court orders and family plans of service).

Our services include:

Individualized Parent Coaching Each biological parent receives a Visitation Coach as a part of their onboarding. This coach does one on one parent coaching using our twelve-week curriculum called “The Active Parent.” In these twelve weeks, parents will learn skills such as:

  • Character development
  • Good communication
  • Healthy structure
  • Positive reinforcement
  • Attachment/bonding
  • Effective discipline management
  • Family life skills

Supervised Family Visitation Children Matter offers our families a safe, comfortable, homelike setting where they can come and spend quality time together in a structured environment for both court-ordered and private services.

Before each visit, the parent receives parent coaching and immediately gets the opportunity to begin putting these skills to practice with their children in the visit that follows.

We work hard to inspire moments of healing, growth, and positivity during each visit as the family goes through the permanency process together.

Case Management We take care of all the details so our clients don’t have to. Our top-notch team members facilitate all communication and visitation scheduling with all parties.

We do hands-on work with:

  • CPS caseworkers
  • Social services
  • CASA advocates
  • Therapists
  • Attorneys
  • Foster caregivers

We also provide a detailed report of each visit for the progression of the case and for the safety of the children. 

 

To get started, email a copy of your official court order to us at [email protected]. A team member will be in touch with intake and scheduling information.

Our services are offered on a sliding scale fee based on your service needs. There is a $25 initial intake fee for both the custodial and non-custodial parties.
