Roy Mass Youth Alternatives is committed to caring for children and families in crisis. Since 1976, we have provided services to abused, neglected, and high-risk youth through residential and counseling services many of which are offered on a sliding scale to low income families in our community. Children come to us from the Texas Department of Family & Protective Services, the City of San Antonio, Family and Youth Service Bureau as well as various County Juvenile Probation Offices. Our services help children navigate through the trauma of physical and sexual abuse, abandonment, and neglect they have experienced.

RMYA provides a safe, supervised residential setting with 24-hour care; an on-campus accredited school; medical care; a nutritious diet; cultural and recreational enrichment programs; individual, family and group counseling services; life skills; and parenting classes. RMYA provides the consistent and comfortable environment necessary for children to significantly improve their behavior and decision-making skills so that they can experience a different way of living and ultimately break the cycle of abuse and violence.

Family Counseling & Resource Center

4.91 miles away, 3103 West Ave, San Antonio, TX, 78213 , D1

COVID-19 Notice

Both shelters will remain open to serve runaway and homeless youth to provide services as needed. To keep youth and staff safe, we will require temperature checks prior to arrival and at admission. Anyone with a temperature higher than 99.9 will be referred to local medical authorities as appropriate. All youth and staff will receive regular temperature checks.

It is difficult to ignore the many problems families face on a daily basis. Roy Maas Youth Alternatives (RMYA) provides individual and family counseling, short-term pediatric and adolescent psychiatric services, and low-cost parent education classes for youth and their families. Assessments may be available, as needed, for temporary and voluntary short-term residential care at The Bridge Emergency Shelter, where residents have access to psychiatric services. Counseling Services: We work with families experiencing a variety of behavioral and emotional crises, including but not limited to: parent-child conflicts, anxiety, substance abuse, runaways, truancy, emotional control issues and anger management. We are an approved site for Bexar County Juvenile Probation and the Department of Family and Protective Services mandated counseling. Community Psychiatric Clinic: The RMYA Community Psychiatric Clinic provides short-term psychiatric services in conjunction with individual child and family counseling, for community children waiting to be seen by a private psychiatrist. Our counselors partner with psychiatric residents from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, to provide evaluations and follow-up assessments for children coping with mental health issues that could lead to abuse, hospitalization, or the breakdown of the family unit. RMYA also provides referrals for long-term psychiatric care when necessary. Parenting Classes: Our agency offers the Becoming a Love and Logic Parent training course. The seven week Becoming a Love and Logic Parent program was developed by Jim Fay, Charles Fay, PhD., and Foster W. Cline, M.D., of the Love and Logic Institute, Inc., in Golden, Colorado. Emergency Shelter Services: Is your family constantly fighting? Does your home feel out-of-control and chaotic? Do you feel like running away is your only option? You are not alone! RMYA offers shelter services for youth 5 to 17 years age. Please call our office for further information at (210) 340-7971

To make an appointment, please call 210-340-7971

All counseling services are offered to the community on a sliding scale. Parenting Classes are $7 each, or $35 when pre-registering for the whole course. We accept Community First Medicaid, Traditional Medicaid, and Superior Health Medicaid. We also accept Master Card and Visa.

Meadowland
by Roy Maas Youth Alternatives/The Bridge

26.99 miles away, 121 Old San Antonio Rd, Boerne, TX, 78006

COVID-19 Notice

The shelter will remain open and accepting youth as beds are available. All incoming youth must have a normal body temperature both prior to admission and at intake. No youth will be admitted with an elevated temperature.

The campus at Meadowland includes six residential cabins (four for males/two for females); an educational/ recreational complex, including a gymnasium and weight room; the Meadowland Charter School; computer lab; library; and the Burdick Community Center. Additionally, the campus has a jogging track, several ballfields, basketball courts, and a swimming pool and pool house. Children placed at Meadowland frequently come from chaotic, unpredictable environments with inconsistent discipline, care or supervision. Many have a history of abuse, and as a result have behavioral and emotional problems which, without intervention, could lead to criminal activities and other destructive behaviors. For additional information on the Meadowland Residential Facility contact 830-816-2425.

The Meadowland Campus accepts male and female children, ages 6-17 who are neglected, abused, abandoned, involved with the juvenile justice system, in crisis, or otherwise in danger. There are a number of clinical considerations that must be reviewed along with the “fit” of the child into a particular resident group and the RMYA capacity to work with any special needs the child may have. RMYA’s policy does not discriminate in the manner in which it provides services or in the manner in which it screens applicants. At no time will a referral be denied admission to the program based on sex, race, color, national origin, political belief, religion, sexual or gender orientation.

RMYA Emergency Services (The Bridge and La Puerta)
by Roy Maas Youth Alternatives/The Bridge

4.92 miles away, 3119 West Ave, San Antonio, TX, 78213 , D1

COVID-19 Notice

The program will remain open and accept youth so long as beds are available. In order to protect youth and staff, all incoming youth must have a normal body temperature both prior to admission and at intake. No youth will be admitted with an elevated temperature.

RMYA’s Emergency Services programs include the Bridge Emergency Shelter and La Puerta Emergency Shelter. Both shelters serve children 24-hours a day in a structured setting for up to 90 days. La Puerta will focus on chronic runaways, severely abused and trafficked children, and children with high therapeutic needs due to trauma-induced behavioral and emotional issues. Every child is evaluated for medical, mental, dental, and other health care needs when they arrive at our shelters. Professionals who are trained to help children in crisis no matter what issues they may be facing are available 24 hours a day and a master’s level therapist is assigned to help and counsel every resident. Children participate in individual and group counseling so they can develop the tools needed to manage challenges. Older residents also attend life skill classes to help educate them about food, finances, and the basics for surviving and thriving in the real world. Children at the Bridge and La Puerta will keep up with school through RMYA’s Stepping Stones Academy Charter School, which is on site. If children need additional help, RMYA can provide support through specialized tutoring. La Puerta has a large play yard, swings, and basketball court so children can exercise daily. It is crucial that children in RMYA programs experience as much normalcy as possible. Residents often attend community cultural, educational, and sporting events. All residents are able to attend religious services at their request. For more information on La Puerta or the Bridge Emergency Shelter, call 210-340-7933.

Coordinated assessment--also known as coordinated entry or coordinated intake--paves the way for more efficient homeless assistance systems by: • Helping people move through the system faster (by reducing the amount of time people spend moving from program to program before finding the right match); • Reducing new entries into homelessness (by consistently offering prevention and diversion resources upfront, reducing the number of people entering the system unnecessarily); and • Improving data collection and quality and providing accurate information on what kind of assistance consumers need. San Antonio /Bexar County’s coordinated entry system began in June 2016. Currently 7 coordinated assessment hubs are located throughout San Antonio/Bexar County.

Ages 18-24 only at this site.

TurningPoint Transitional Living Program
by Roy Maas Youth Alternatives/The Bridge

4.94 miles away, 2109 Babs Dr, San Antonio, TX, 78213 , D1

COVID-19 Notice

Please be aware our RMYA staff are monitoring city, state, and national responses to COVID-19 and will make adjustments as necessary to keep all of our clients and stakeholders protected. Please feel free to call our 24-hour hotline at #210-340-8090 with questions or concerns.

Many youth aging out of foster care and youth who grew up in abusive or neglectful homes are ill equipped to adjust to life on their own. When young adults 18-22 find themselves unprepared for the responsibilities of adulthood and without the skills necessary to live independently, they end up homeless, as drug addicts or in prostitution, and many end up in jail. In order to combat this growing population of homeless young people, RMYA offers the TurningPoint Transitional Living program to help youth who have aged out of foster care as well as other homeless youth. These vulnerable young adults are given a safe place to live and are taught how to care for themselves so that they can become productive, empowered members of our community.

For more information about TurningPoint, please call (210) 349-3610.
