What SJRC Texas does

SJRC Texas is a Texas-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, founded in 1983 (originally as St. Jude's Home for Children) and headquartered in Bulverde/San Antonio, that delivers a continuum of child welfare and family preservation services across 28 counties in Texas Department of Family and Protective Services Region 8. Its service portfolio spans foster care licensing and adoption, the Touchstone short-term residential stabilization and assessment program for youth ages 12-18, the Belong division's Community-Based Care case management, the Parents as Teachers home visiting program, kinship and reunification support, fatherhood services, and a Family Resource Center offering free parenting classes, counseling, and basic-needs assistance to families in the community. Under CEO Tara Roussett, the organization is led by Chief Administrative Officer Carlye Dupart and VP of Communications & Marketing April Molina.

The organization's clinical and operational backbone is built on evidence-based trauma-informed care frameworks, principally the Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) model developed at Texas Christian University and the Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics (NMT) used at the Touchstone campus. SJRC Texas holds Council on Accreditation (since May 2016) and Level 1 Foundational Trauma-Informed Care certification, and operates a Bulverde campus with on-site clinical staffing, a UT Health Wellness 360 primary care clinic, and the Harvey E. Najim Education Center (unveiled August 2024). It runs 50+ affiliated child placing agencies across Region 8 and is supported by more than 40 corporate and foundation partners including Valero Energy Foundation, H-E-B, Texas Cavaliers Charitable Foundation, Dave Thomas Foundation, McKenna Foundation, and Kronkosky Charitable Foundation.

SJRC Texas generates revenue through three primary streams: (1) government contracts with the Texas DFPS as Single Source Continuum Contractor for Community-Based Care in Region 8 (initially awarded March 2021 for Region 8b and expanded April 2025 to Region 8a/Bexar County); (2) individual donations via the Purpose Partners monthly giving program, one-time gifts, and the Benefactor Circle ($5,000+ annual donors); and (3) corporate and foundation grants. All direct family enrichment services are provided at no charge to community families. The organization serves nearly 3,000 children and youth annually and reports transforming the lives of more than 72,000 children over its 40+ year history.
