This is a parenting program for pregnant and/or parenting adolescents 19 years of age or younger. In an effort to provide support and guidance to adolescent parents during a transitional period of their lives, the Adolescent Pregnancy & Parenting Program offers site and home-based parenting sessions. For many teens, high school graduation does not appear to be an option because they become parents earlier than they had anticipated and are overwhelmed with adult responsibilities at a very early age. However, when teen parents receive prenatal and parenting information while still in school, they are empowered and encouraged to complete their education. Through the Adolescent Pregnancy & Parenting Program comprehensive supportive services are provided so that pregnant and/or parenting adolescents: • Become healthy, nurturing parents who know how to provide appropriate brain stimulation for their children • Learn the fundamentals of child development, proper care of infants/young children and healthy parenting techniques • Gain an understanding of healthy brain development and the importance of brain stimulation for young children • Demonstrate an ability to provide appropriate brain stimulation and will integrate the program into their daily lives • Demonstrate a sense of hopefulness for their future. The Adolescent Pregnancy & Parenting Program offers free group sessions hosted in schools and community centers throughout Bexar County for adolescents 19 years or younger. Home-based parenting visitations are also provided to adolescents who are pregnant or have a child 2 years old or younger. Home visits take place weekly for 12 weeks and then transition to once a month until the client’s child is 3 years of age. For more information call program director, Enid Reyes at (210) 222-1294 x235.

If you need assistance during this crisis, contact (210) 226-6178 to be screened to receive basic needs through St. Stephen’s CARE Center, and Guadalupe Community Center. Both centers remain open during normal business hours to provide food, clothing, and other self-sufficiency services to those who need us most.

Catholic Charities offers two home-based parenting education programs, Great Start Plus and Building Strong Families, for families that have been or are currently involved with Child Protective Services with a focus on improving parent-child interaction, increasing the families’ protective factors and reducing the risk of child abuse and neglect. Both programs provide weekly, home-based parenting education sessions, offering personalized curriculum and training tailored to the family’s needs within the comfort of their own home. Utilizing the Nurturing Parenting curriculum, our programs aim to increase the family’s protective factors, such as: • Family functioning and parental resiliency; • Social connections and support; • Nurturing and attachment; • Knowledge of appropriate child development; and • Concrete support through information and guidance from family educators. All enrolled children under 5 years of age are screened for developmental progress, and potential delays are referred to medical or other intervention services as indicated by screening results. While increasing knowledge of child development, parents gain a better understanding of their children’s readiness to develop appropriate skills which will, in turn, decrease incidences of child abuse and neglect. As an enhancement to the parenting education sessions, both programs also offer monthly group opportunities for family engagement activities where all participating client families are invited. These events involve educational and interactive components to encourage learning and social connections. Case management is also provided to help provide resources for the family’s basic needs. Referrals are provided to other Catholic Charities’ programs including the Food Pantry, Clothes Closet, Emergency Financial Assistance, Catholic Charities’ Counseling Center, the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program and many more. Referrals are also provided for additional social service agencies as needed.
Great Start Plus provides service to families within Bexar County with open cases through Child Protective Services. This program allows for open enrollment, with no referral from Child Protective Services required. At least one child in the household must be between the ages of 0 and 8 years old. Building Strong Families provides services to families within Bexar County with closed substantiated cases through Child Protective Services. A referral from Child Protective Services is required to qualify. At least one child in the household must be between the ages of 0 and 17 years old.

By appointment only to access help through telehealth services.

Founded in 1999 in response to a need for services among pregnant women, especially low-income women and pregnant teenagers, San Antonio Birth Doulas provided new and expecting parents with support in the areas of pregnancy, labor, breastfeeding, newborn care and bonding in an effort to prevent infant/child abuse and neglect. The word “doula” is ancient Greek for “woman’s servant.” In the modern context, a doula is a trained non-medical person who attends to the mother’s needs (as well as her extended family) before, during and after childbirth by providing information, physical assistance and emotional support. In a sense, a doula “mothers the mother.”
For more information on doula services, please contact Suzanne de Leon, Executive Director, at 210-222-0988.

In that way, this program is mutually beneficial to children and seniors and results in a kind, compassionate experience for all involved.
If you are interested in mentoring special needs children you must be 55 or older, income eligible (based on government poverty guidelines) and in good health. Income eligible Foster Grandparents receive a modest stipend to help offset the cost of volunteering and serve between 15-40 hours per week.
