• Competitive programs practice once a week in monthly sessions.
• One-Day programs last about 2-3 hours.
• Expert Support is provided by a pediatric-trained therapist and a coach who work together to ensure your child’s safety.

Five Levels of Support

1. A pediatric-trained therapist will be available at every program to ensure the safety and success of each child by implementing modifications for our athletes, overseeing volunteers, and coordinating with parents.
2. A coach or instructor will also be at every program who develops the curriculum and then provides the direction and support to enable our athletes to function at their highest level.
3. Staff members are available at each program to assist athletes, parents, and volunteers.
4. Volunteers are consistent, passionate, and motivated to help participants achieve success.
5. Parents and families get to pull up a chair and cheer from the sidelines! Of course, we also welcome any input that will ensure the success of your child.

Celebrations: While we believe doing is more important than winning, every program concludes with an end-of-season finale that celebrates each child’s successes big or small. These confidence-boosting finales focus the spotlight on Kinetic Kids as we create spirit tunnels, give awards, and act like paparazzi in front of their family and friends.

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 – Within 30 minutes, a RMYA staff member or qualified Safe Place volunteer will arrive to talk with the youth and, if necessary, provide transportation to RMYA's Centro Seguro Drop-In Center.

Step Four – Once at Centro Seguro, counselors meet with the youth and provide support. Agency staff makes sure 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.

Free.

SMART Recovery is an abstinence-oriented, not-for-profit organization for individuals with addictive problems. Our self-empowering, free mutual support meetings focus on ideas and techniques to help you change your life from one that is self-destructive and unhappy to one that is constructive and satisfying. SMART Recovery does not use labels like “addict” or “alcoholic.” We teach scientifically validated methods designed to empower you to change and develop a more positive lifestyle. 

In SMART we focus on learning coping skills that work well short- and long-term. We base our ideas on what addiction science has shown to be effective. We have adapted these ideas into SMART’s tools for change. We are not much concerned with the past, except to learn from it. We focus on present-day events and the causes of self-destructive behaviors. We concentrate on what to do about them to achieve a positive lifestyle change, especially in the areas of our lives that are related to harmful addictive behavior.

Each stroke survivor faces a unique set of physical and emotional challenges. And each cope their own way. The warmth, acceptance and emotional support from a support group can often be the key to uncovering hidden strengths.
