San Antonio city leaders are asking staff to research crisis nurseries, which are facilities where families can voluntarily drop off their children if they are undergoing stress and need protection.
District 4 City Councilwoman Adriana Rocha Garcia said due to the high amount of domestic violence incidents in San Antonio, parents and guardians could benefit from a temporary safe haven for children.– San Antonio city staff is exploring what it would take for the community to support a crisis nursery program.
“Anytime we see that, especially in domestic violence situations, there might not be family members around where you can drop off a child with,” Garcia said. “What crisis nurseries provide is that voluntary choice for families to bring their children somewhere safe,” she said. “We do intensive services with the parent or guardian while the child stays with us, but it gives that parent the time to focus 100% on moving through those crisis situations, knowing their children are safe in a licensed setting and they’re receiving 24-hour care,” she said.
