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.

Free.

The Vision of the Military Family Ministry is of a church parish where all military families of both Veterans and Active Duty Service members experience the love of God through focused, intentional efforts to support their culture and their needs.

The Mission of the Military Family Ministry is to ensure that all families with a deployed family member receive the support they need before, during, and after deployment. And, that Veterans of the parish and their families are supported through relevant cultural activities to help sustain the spirit of connectedness, aka. “esprit de corps,” that warriors experience during their service.

Goals of the Military Family Ministry:

  • Establish and maintain a ministry leadership team
  • Plan, develop, and implement activities such as Burger Burns, Dining Outs, and other social events
  • Enlist volunteers to support families during deployment cycles
  • Incorporate military service-oriented activities for worship (e.g., prayers for deployed service members, sermons, acknowledgement of successes while serving).

If you are interested in joining or learning more about the Military Family Ministry, please contact Yvonne Rheinschmidt, Ph.D., LPC at [email protected].

We are a group of women (and one man) who sew items for our Outreach program and occasionally for the needs of the parish, through our knowledge, experience, and efforts.

The ability to sew is not a requirement but it helps! We gather weekly to share and laugh, while our hands accomplish tasks. Mostly, we provide pillows to various shelters and agencies in San Antonio, for adults and children, to sleep or to hug.

We also work on baby blankets, lap quilts, cosmetic and toiletry bags, Christmas stockings, laundry bags. The items vary but the purpose is the same – to help others in need, through fabric.

If you might be interested in this type of activity, come check us out and see for yourself. We want to meet you – new faces and ideas are good. No commitment, no obligations, and no charge!

We survive only with donations of fabric, some thread, pillow stuffing, quilt batting, etc. Of course, cash or gift cards are greatly appreciated. For health reasons, we cannot accept used pillows.

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.
