These initiatives aim to extend our reach and ensure that even underserved children, who may not be able to come to the Center regularly, can access the help they need.in response to the tragic may 24, 2022 school shooting that left the uvalde community in deep grief and trauma, our Center recognized the pressing need to extend grief services to children and their families in the area. The pain from this event has not only affected individuals but has also impacted the community's sense of trust and security for the future. Children, in particular, have been profoundly affected, with their journey through grief closely intertwined with their parents' well-being, further strained by the distressing circumstances. Despite the challenges of seeking help and privacy concerns, we have focused on successful engagement through non-intrusive family-centered events. Our Center has introduced individual counseling, peer support groups, and special workshops, aiming to provide the necessary healing and support to the community as they bravely navigate the path towards recovery and progress. We remain committed to serving this grieving community and helping them heal from the aftermath of this tragic event.
Both our centers in san antonio and uvalde possesses a strong and compassionate professional team of therapists, who are supported by dedicated administrators, university interns, and community volunteers. Together, we worked tirelessly in 2022 to provide assistance to a record number of families, offering the support and care they require during these difficult times. As we move forward, we remain committed to being a reliable source of solace and healing for children facing grief, empowering them to cope with their emotions and navigate the healing process.
