In January 2023 there were 1,330 youth in the care of DFPS in Bexar County. These youth have a variety of mental health challenges due to the trauma they have endured, including physical assault, sexual assault, abuse/neglect, bullying, and in some cases, human trafficking. In order for youth to be able to begin healing from their trauma, it is imperative they see trauma-informed counselors who can guide them through making sense of the trauma, give them strategies to cope with the trauma, the separation from their families, and the new foster families they have joined. Absent trauma-informed counseling, youth in foster care who are victims of abuse and neglect are at a higher risk for long term negative physical, psychological, medical, behavioral, and societal outcomes. These outcomes can include teen pregnancy, increased use of alcohol and drugs, suicidal ideations, and social adjustment issues. The negative outcomes can have repercussions their whole life, effect how they raise their children, and determine whether the cycle of abuse will continue to the next generation. 176840 79688 79688 City of San Antonio, American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) COVID-19 IMPACT AREAS to address the increased social isolation, anxiety, depression, and suicide in school age youth and increase access to mental health care for school-aged children and youth ages 12-19 years old. Artvango's main objective is to increase our psycho-therapy program activities and ability to increase staff will impact the targeted community by providing an opportunity for us to decrease the wait time for services and increase the number of youths we can serve. This will help reduce wait times for initial and critically needed services. Our program links to the targeted impact area by expanding access to mental health care for children and youth ages 2-19 with an equity access score of 6 or above who are already at a high risk of hospitalization and suicidal ideation given their status in the foster care system. Enabling foster youth to access care in a timely manner with no wait times will greatly improve their mental health outcomes, the success of their placements, and the negative consequences that can come from waiting for critically needed mental health care that has been described above. Counseling fees will be collected through insurance when applicable. LPC-Associates who are not fully licensed by the state of TX are not able to submit charges for insurance reimbursement. COSA funding will alleviate the financial cost of increasing our staff in order to serve the large number of youths affected by trauma, abuse and neglect. 0 0 0 366282 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 100112 0 1 3 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 7 6 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 TX X X X Artvango Therapeutic Services Inc 2103872218 3201 Cherry Ridge Building B202 San Antonio TX 78230 Carrie Simonds Therapeutic Service Program Director 40 40 X X 101166 0 0 Yadira G Puente President and CEO 40 40 X X 62500 0 0 163666 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 53125 92862 1040 145987 Mental Health Counseling Services 621330 272537 272537 0 0 0 0 0 0 272537 0 0 0 0 0 Miscellaneous Income 621330 1397 1397 0 0 0 0 0 0 1397 419921 273934 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 165466 165466 110692 110692 0 0 0 0 0 0 13895 13895 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 14300 14300 320 320 15900 15900 569 569 0 0 32930 32930 0 0 0 0 0 0 187 187 0 0 433 433 3232 3232 LPC License Renewal 332 332 0 0 Bond for Bingo 200 0 0 200 8026 8026 366482 366282 0 200 0 0 83761 136000 0 1200 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 83761 137200 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 0 83761 137200 83761 137200 83761 137200 53439 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 1 X 0 0 X 61820 31837 30350 50680 144575 319262 48386 91847 146269 173270 272537 732309 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 110206 123684 176619 223950 417112 1051571 0 0 0 0 0 0 30000 30000 30000 16000 0 106000 30000 30000 30000 16000 0 106000 945571 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 668 668 110206 123684 176619 223950 417780 1052239 X Schedule A, Part III, Line 12 Bank Credit -$296 Amazon Smile - $137.27, Bond refund $200 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2 Yadira Puente is the foudner, President and CEO of Artvango.
