Trinity Oaks dedicates our Heroes Celebrations to humbly serving and sharing our appreciation for the brave men and women who protect our American way of life.
Our outdoor program for Heroes focuses on combat veterans of all generations and first responders. We understand that healing internal and external injuries and promoting general well-being is a process made easier by spending time outdoors.
For our Heroes, Trinity Oaks hosts experiences of a lifetime! Through adaptive methods, such as Trinity Oaks’ Action Trackchair (a customized, all-terrain wheelchair on tracks), participants can move beyond physical limitations to enjoy hunting and fishing with increased mobility and independence. We understand that not all injuries are physical and often host live combat veterans who are dealing with PTSD and other mental traumas.
At the end of each trip, the harvested fish and game are processed and given to the participants or distributed to others who need a nutritious meal.

Heartland is a place that provides these children with a loving family, often in stark contrast to the neglectful environments they came from. Heartland is located on eighteen heavily wooded acres of land outside of Boerne, Texas in the world famous Texas Hill Country. It's a tranquil place where the air is fresh and the skies are beautiful. There are farm animals to help with child development for the more fortunate children that have the ability to venture outside of the home. There is individualized special care provided for the ones that have more medical needs and don't share the same blessings. Services are provided to the children from birth to eighteen years of age.
Heartland also assists families in the community that find themselves overwhelmed physically and financially with the special medical and developmental needs of their children. There is a great need when caring for handicapped and terminally ill children for education of parents and significant others. To be able to ask questions and receive understandable answers to these questions can lighten the burden that some of these families face on a day to day basis.
Ages: Birth - 18 yrs,

The first meeting with a counselor is free. A modest fee based on a sliding fee scale is collected for each follow-up session; however, no one is denied service because they cannot pay.
With the aid of psychological testing, psychologists have more information available to them to explore possible diagnoses than do general practitioners or psychiatrists. This improves the accuracy of a diagnosis and helps you and your doctors make more informed treatment decisions.
Psychological Testing for Adults and Adolescents:
Psychological testing can help you identify and understand thoughts, feelings, and behaviors you may have that are causing suffering. Testing can:
- Determine the severity and origin of memory, attention, and concentration difficulties (anxiety, depression, ADHD, substance use, and PTSD can all impact memory and concentration)
- Identify thoughts and feelings that interfere with social and relationship functioning
- Identify cognitive strengths and weaknesses
