Meeting The Needs Of Our Most Precious Children 

In April of 2022, SJRC Texas’s campus was reimagined to serve as an integrative treatment center for our vulnerable youth. Touchstone is a short-term stabilization and assessment program utilizing Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics (NMT), located on the SJRC Texas Bulverde Campus. Each youth receives a nutritious, balanced meal in accordance with the USDA Child Nutrition Program standards. Each youth also has access to their treatment team that include professionals from various disciplines to include a case manager, psychologist, psychiatrist, therapist, education coordinator, medical professionals, and youth care administrators. The goal of the program is to help youth develop calming strategies that will address their fight/flight/freeze responses.

Harvey E. Najim Education Center 

To truly nurture the educational dreams of our youth, SJRC Texas proudly unveiled the Harvey E. Najim Education Center at its Touchstone Campus in August 2024. This 9,000-square-foot facility contains three classrooms, a library, a commercial-grade kitchen/cafeteria, a gym, offices for educators, and a therapy room. Here, the youth at Touchstone can embrace learning in a safe, modern environment right on their doorstep, paving the way for their boundless success.

UT Health Wellness 360 Partnership 

Through a partnership with UT Health Wellness 360, we offer our Touchstone youth access to immediate on-site health care. This includes urgent care, wellness exams, sick visits and vaccines to include flu and COVID-19. The Azael Torres Clinic has become a go-to space for our youth in need of health or wellness resources. It is easily accessible on campus and staffed by full-time nurses from UT Health San Antonio.

We bring a multitude of experienced professionals, from many disciplines, together to work with vulnerable adolescents. Our team consists of a psychiatrist, psychologist, advanced nurse practitioners, nurses, therapists, educators, mental health professionals, care managers and youth care specialists.
