CHAPS is supported by the Equine Advisory Council of the non-profit organization Partners for Youth (a 501(c)(3)), by the Bexar County Juvenile Board and is managed by the Bexar County Juvenile Probation Department. CHAPS has been in existence since 2011. Currently CHAPS offers five programs to children. Equine Assisted Psychotherapy and/or Equine Assisted Learning provides children the opportunity to interact with horses and peers to problem solve, improve communication as well as reflect on their own behaviors and emotions that emerge during various experiential exercises. The Intro to Horses class offers children an opportunity to be around and interact with horses to assuage fears but also asses a child's interest in participating in additional classes. Children who participate in the Horse Care Program learn horse psychology and behavior with an emphasis on trust and relationship building. Children also learn all aspects of caring for and grooming the horse assigned to them with the intent of fostering empathy and understanding of others. Horsemanship continues to focus on trust and relationship building between the children and horses and offers the opportunity to learn basic horse riding skills. The intent is to teach children about non-verbal communication, body language, emotional self regulation as well as foster a healthy sense of self-esteem and confidence. Horse Camp incorporates aspect of each of the aforementioned classes and is offered primarily during school Holidays. The CHAPS program places a high value on relationship building, learning, emotional growth, self discovery, building confidence and enhancing self-esteem as well as developing a sense of responsibility. CHAPS also places high value on creating a safe, healthy, peaceful and healing environment for both horses and children. There is healing power in horses. There is healing power in being outdoors. We feel CHAPS offers opportunities for children to commune with both - a refuge for often troubled and turbulent lives.

Founded in 1984, Presa Community Center has been offering programs and services to families facing crisis. Presa Community Center believes that exposing and involving students in activities such as character education, field trips, leadership development, art lessons, music lessons, service learning, healthy leisure education, youth sports, ceramic classes, and many other special interests and educational experiences is a valuable investment in their lives. There are many opportunities as an intern to interact with youth and to provide a support system which helps them feel empowered and valued as individuals. Dr. Velasquez, a professor at the University of the Incarnate Word and a licensed psychologist at Presa Community Center, encounters many individuals whose lives can benefit from psychological services. He holds psychotherapy sessions for adults in which the intern will be observing and taking notes but will not be interacting in any way. After the session, Dr. Velasquez and the student intern will discuss, analyze, and diagnose the client. The ultimate goal is to have a community where individuals are actively engaged with one another in positive relationships and improve the quality of life.
