Information for Partners

Working Together to Support Children and Families

Schools, healthcare providers, social workers, and community organizations all play a vital role in protecting children and strengthening families.

At Respite Care of San Antonio (RCSA), we partner with agencies across the region to provide high-quality, coordinated services that ensure children have the safe, stable, and supportive care they deserve.

RCSA also operates the only licensed residential homes in Texas dedicated to children with special needs and complex medical conditions who are victims of abuse or neglect. This program provides a vital resource for CPS, DFPS, and community partners seeking safe, specialized care for children in crisis.
