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.

The love for dance is powerful and magical. Not only does it allow you to express emotions, but it also offers an opportunity to develop self-confidence and make a difference in the lives of others. 

Dance Fairies was inspired by passion and love for dance and recognition that not all children have access to beautiful dance costumes and proper dance shoes to allow them to follow their dreams.

Every child believes in magic, and dancing is the closest thing to magic. Putting a smile on the face of a little girl and watching her swirl in that tutu makes you feel like a fairy. With that in mind, in June of 2018, the idea of Dance Fairies was born.

Thanks to a surplus of donations from our wonderful community, the Crisis Center of Comal County is thrilled to announce the launch of the Comal Thrift Shoppe, opened September 16th, 2021. Once they arrive, our clients go through and choose everything they may need from our collection of item donations.

People are then free to shop the pieces at their leisure and can take pride in knowing that the proceeds from their purchases directly fund our programs and services.

Our Free Store is available to anyone that finds themselves in need of clothing throughout the year. We have items in all sizes.

An outreach program designed for survivors. This program will help women understand emotional beauty, which leads to positive self-worth; physical beauty, which leads to eating healthy and exercising; and spiritual beauty, which leads to the inner qualities of being a woman of God’s design.

Volunteers do makeovers, seminars/workshops on self-esteem, healthy eating, and exercise, and assist women with wardrobes for the workplace.

By supporting survivors and embracing them through their restoration journey, we believe we will empower them to move forward and find the strength to Love, Believe, and Dream again.

Our goal is to help restore hope to women and children by working with the community and our partners to best assess their needs.

Ensuring they are worthy of love and respect and helping them to build their self-esteem, we believe our programs will be a crucial movement in the lives we touch.
