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.

Receiving early and regular prenatal care is important. Initial visits can be scheduled as soon as you have a positive pregnancy test. Lasting about two hours, initial visits include a comprehensive health history review, complete physical exam with PAP and
prenatal lab work. 

San Antonio Nurse Midwife follows the same schedule that most physicians follow during the prenatal period. After your initial visit, subsequent 45 minute to one hour visits will take place every four weeks until 28 weeks, every 2 weeks until 36 weeks and weekly after 36 weeks until birth. At each visit the following will be completed/assessed:

-Physical and emotional status
-Vital signs including blood pressure and pulse
-Nutrition
-Urine checked
-Fundal Height
-Fetal Heart Tones and Position 

-Lab work as needed
-Prenatal Education 

As a partner on your birth journey, I strive to establish a personal relationship with you and your significant other. In order to facilitate this relationship, I encourage family member participation during prenatal visits and the birth.

A big part of the heart of TruLight127 is to support children in Kinship Homes.

For generations, extended families have played significant roles in rearing children when parents are having a difficult time. This is called Kinship Care by Child Protective Services (CPS). These are relatives and other people who the child or family have a significant relationship can often provide children with stability when they can't live with their birth parents.

Kinship caregivers are not given the same kind of support that foster families are given. They are often left struggling for resources. We want to support that family as much as we can so that the children placed there can stay in a stable family environment. We provide resources, trainings, and often license them so that they can receive the support that they need.

What Are the Benefits of Kinship Care?

• Provides love and care in a familiar setting
• Provides parents with a sense of hope that children will remain connected to their birth families
• Enables children to live with people they know and trust
• Reinforces a child's sense of cultural identity and positive self-esteem
• Helps a child make and sustain extended family connections
• Continues lifelong family traditions and memories
• Supports the child in building healthy relationships within the family
• Supports the child's need for safety and well-being;
• Creates a sense of stability in the life of a child
