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 family support group at E-motion Wellness Therapy Center is a safe and supportive place for relatives of individuals living with mental health and addiction issues.

Family members learn new coping strategies and gain insight into how to best support their loved ones. When caregivers become part of a close-knit community, they gain the strength to help themselves and their families through any difficulties.

Men

The E-motion intensive outpatient program (IOP) group therapy process for men provides a unique opportunity for men to explore their mental health and addiction issues in an engaging, nontraditional setting. The physical activities allow them to confront their emotions in an active way that promotes self-exploration, learning new skills and techniques, and building meaningful connections with other men. 

In addition, the experiential nature of the group therapy process allows for a measure of trust and understanding to be built between participants as they work through their emotional issues together. This, in combination with the technology of our wellness lab, allows men a unique and effective process to learn self-regulation and improve their overall life experiences.

Women

Our intensive outpatient experience for women offers an experiential group therapy process specifically tailored to meet the needs of women. Our holistic approach provides a safe and supportive environment where members can share their experiences, learn positive coping strategies, and find understanding in the words of other women on similar journeys to self-discovery and healing.

Teens

The E-motion intensive outpatient therapy process for teens is designed to capitalize on the incredible plasticity of the adolescent brain. Our protocols that ignite and support neuroplasticity are especially effective with this population.

Teenagers in our group process learn to identify their individual needs and recognize their potential. Through this program, teens learn to understand themselves better, build effective communication skills, and develop positive coping strategies. The therapy process includes individualized assessments and regularly scheduled group sessions that provide a safe space for teens to share their experiences and receive support from peers and therapists.

We designed the therapeutic techniques used in the group sessions to help teens explore, identify, and manage their thoughts and feelings in a supportive environment. During the program, teens also learn how to recognize triggers that may lead to negative behavior, build self-esteem, develop healthier relationships with family members and peers, and make positive choices for their future.

The program is tailored to the needs of each teen and provides an opportunity for them to become more confident, empowered, and successful in life. At the end of the program, teens will better understand themselves and their capabilities as they move forward with their lives.

With technology at the forefront, many parents are concerned that their child or teenager may not be getting enough positive social interactions. They worry that their child or teenager may not be making friends, and lack the confidence or tools needed to navigate social interactions.

Mind Works offers group counseling for children and teenagers to be able to learn, grow, and facilitate positive interactions in a safe and nurturing environment.

Mind Works offers weekly group counseling throughout the year for:

• Anxiety
• Depression
• Anger
• Body Image
• Low Self-Esteem
• Autism
• Poor Social Interactions
• Emotional Awareness

Hospice focuses on caring, not curing and in most cases care is provided in the patient's home. Hospice care also is provided in freestanding hospice centers, hospitals, nursing homes, and other long-term care facilities.

The hospice team develops a care plan that meets each patient's individual needs for pain management and symptom control.

Among its major responsibilities, the interdisciplinary hospice team:

• Manages the patient’s pain and symptoms; 
• Assists the patient with the emotional psychosocial and spiritual aspects of dying; 
• Provides needed drugs, medical supplies, and equipment; 
• Coaches the family on how to care for the patient; 
• Delivers special services like speech and physical therapy when needed; 
• Makes short-term inpatient care available when pain or symptoms become too difficult to manage at home, or the caregiver needs respite time; and 
• Provides bereavement care and counseling to surviving family and friends.

Closed meetings are for A.A. members only, or for those who have a drinking problem and "have a desire to stop drinking."
