SJRC TEXAS
SJRC Texas, formerly known as St. Jude’s Ranch for Children, cares for children and families who have been affected by trauma, abuse and neglect. We are their safe haven and offer help and hope to begin the journey of healing. Our mission is to offer healing and hope to children and families affected by abuse, abandonment or neglect. Our vision is that abused and neglected children will be empowered to grow up to be happy, productive and caring adults.
We Believe a Child Can Never Have Too Many People Love Them.
In 2020 there were 75,350 confirmed victims of abuse and neglect in Texas; 5,942 of these victims lived in Bexar County, approximately 385 lived in Comal County. (TDFPS 2019 Statistics). SJRC Texas cares for over 200 of these children each day from the Greater San Antonio and surrounding area daily.
We Believe in Strong Families.
The programs of SJRC cover a continuum of care to ensure that children placed in our care receive therapeutic treatment along their journey of healing towards a brighter future. We offer emergency placement, therapeutic residential care, community foster care, pregnant and parenting teen services, and adoption- creating forever families for children who desperately need and deserve a loving home and family. We utilize a therapeutic model of care, TBRI (Trust Based Relational Intervention) based on brain research on how trauma effects the developing brain and how to best offer healing from that trauma, giving children the tools to heal from trauma, abuse and neglect.
