?Respite care is short-term relief for in-home hospice caregivers. Medicare benefits pay for patient transport and up to five consecutive days of inpatient care at a Medicare-approved nursing facility or hospital. You can get respite care more than once, but only on an occasional basis.

Hospice respite care enables the caregiver to rest and recover from the demands of daily in-home care. Respite care is also appropriate when a patient’s medical condition warrants a short-term inpatient stay for pain or other symptoms that cannot be managed at home.

Phase One

Our Phase One program prepares students to be disciples through a six-month course filled with Bible studies, service work in the community, and volunteer work for other non-profit organizations. The students also assist in the San Antonio Christian Church community soup kitchen as well as in their food pantry distributions.  

During this phase, we will also help students with ID recovery, if needed, to prepare them for the workplace and so they can transition into our Phase Two work program.  

The program has a productive daily routine that all must adhere to. Think of it as a Boot Camp for Life. Each day begins with prayer and Bible study.  The remainder of the day keeps residents active and engaged.

Students participate in Hands-On Training (HOT), which includes community service, evangelizing, and assisting other ministries.  We train students to be disciples of Jesus Christ through biblical truths.  This experience equips each one to live to the full potential God intended for their lives.

Phase Two

Our Phase Two program helps students find employment.  Participants then contribute 25% of their income toward room and board, as a way of giving back, keep 25% for their personal basic needs, and save 50% to eventually use towards transitioning back home with family or to begin independent living.

Our requirements:

• At-risk men
• A referral from a pastor or ministry is preferred
• To have and maintain the desire to change their life
• To have and maintain the ability to surrender

Phase 1: Nothing.
Phase 2: 25% of income.

Closed meetings are for A.A. members only, or for those who have a drinking problem and "have a desire to stop drinking."

PROUD PEOPLE

PFLAG is working to make sure that all people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer are not only valued by society, but take pride in and value themselves. We do this by providing peer-to-peer support, educating people on the issues that are important to the community, and advocating for inclusive policies and laws.

LOVING FAMILIES

Family support and acceptance are critical to the health and wellbeing of people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer...and PFLAG has been at the forefront of this work for over four decades. Find out more about how we have been supporting thousands of families across the country and around the world, and the ways in which we can provide that support to your family.

SAFE COMMUNITIES

People who are LGBTQ and their families deserve to be safe and secure, no matter where they live, work, study, pray or play. Through our mission of support, education, and advocacy, PFLAG works to make sure that all communities provide this type of security, and have the resources needed to help those communities thrive.

DIVERSE AND INCLUSIVE WORLD

PFLAG's vision is to create a world where difference is celebrated, and all people are valued inclusive of their sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression. Our mission of support, education, and advocacy guides our work on this important goal.

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, direcct-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.

Allies Peer Support, a program of BCFS Health and Human Services Human Trafficking Interdiction (HTI), connects local San Antonio area volunteers with survivors of human trafficking to enrich and strengthen the lives of both allies and survivors.

Allies like you can be a positive force in survivors’ lives by providing support, encouragement, and guidance as they navigate their education, careers, and adulthood.

To become an ally:

• Have a valid Texas driver’s license.
• Have access to a vehicle and proof of vehicle insurance/
• Undergo a thorough background check.
• Be at least 6 years older than the survivor.

Ally's responsibilities and expectations:

• Meet with a survivor at least twice a month or an average of eight hours.
• Complete pre-service training.
• Commit to a partnership with the survivor for a minimum of one year.

Allies Peer Support provides the tools needed for success. Before being matched with a survivor, you will receive training that takes you through the basics of human trafficking and building healthy relationships. We will stay in contact with you throughout the year so you feel confident as you navigate this journey with your survivor.

Interested in becoming an ally? Attend one of our networking mixers for preliminary information. If you believe you are a fit, fill out an application, pass the required background checks, complete pre-service training, and visit with Allies Peer Support staff before matching.

You've been fighting for a long time. When you're ready for help, we'll be there. When you call, we'll talk about Common Thread with you, make sure it's the right fit, and send your own advocate to meet you in person right away. We can be anywhere in our service area within 90 minutes.

Once you're in our program, you can expect to have lots of contact with us for the first few days. We'll develop a plan together. Your advocate will connect you with support in the community, be by your side as you attend appointments or take steps toward your safety, and will be a trustworthy friend.

Music Therapy is a clinical and therapeutic practice that uses music to achieve specific goals for individuals, such as treating trauma, PTSD, depression, and anxiety.

What is Music Therapy?

There is something about music that has power over us. It can entice us, make us feel warm or cold. It can raise us to happiness and bring us down to sadness. It can make us feel weak, and it can also make us feel strong. Thanks to this ‘power,’ many have sought to use it for its therapeutic benefits. In fact, there is a lot of well-documented research on the subject.

The power that music has over us can help our young clients understand that it's okay to feel what they are feeling. In fact, music has always provided us with an outlet for our emotions, be they positive or negative. Paired with the ideas of Music Therapy, music can be used to create a safe space for teens and adults alike, a space where they can really heal.

Results of Music Therapy for Depression

Research and documented results have shown that Music Therapy heals the brain's neural pathways previously damaged by emotional and physical trauma, and can strengthen a teen's resilience against future events or related stressors.

In regards to anxiety, trauma, or PTSD in teens and adults, Music Therapy has been shown to decrease related symptoms by a great degree. Our young clients have mentioned they no longer have nightmares, aren't always irritable or anxious.

There was one particular study that looked at the brain waves of clients during a Music Therapy session. From the recorded brain patterns they have gathered, the researchers could easily tell when emotions changed from negative to positive. Other studies showed how music can help heal a client's body, such as lowering their heart rates and blood pressure.
