VQ endeavors to build stronger communities in Texas through the services we provide, including our Pathfinder homes, Functional Family Therapy programs, and community-based services. These programs are designed to help youth and their families heal from previous adversity, empower them to form healthy relationships within family structures and their greater community, and expand their life skills for a more successful future.

Soaring Skies, is a Pathfinder program developed to help adolescents who have difficulty functioning at home, school, or in the community adapt to independent life. The typical length of stay for residents is about six months, during which time they receive trauma-focused care, clinical support, and role modeling on community functioning. Through these services, we hope to give youth a better chance at successfully integrating back into the communities they call home.

VQ therapists at this program work with local families in the San Antonio area as a preventative measure in lieu of residential placement for youth beginning to enter the juvenile justice system as well as a form of aftercare for youth exiting residential programs. By working collaboratively with families to form stronger bonds and eliminate issues in the home, this program helps reduce both crime rates and recidivism.
