What We Do

At RRS, we go beyond basic care — we create a therapeutic, structured, and family-oriented environment where healing and personal growth happen daily.

Who We Serve

Resilience Residential Services (RRS) provides care and support for youth ages 6 to 17 who have experienced emotional, behavioral, or traumatic challenges. Our residents often come to us facing difficulties such as:

Relationship and family conflicts
Depression or anxiety
Aggressive or oppositional behaviors
Academic or school-related struggles
Adjustment or attachment challenges
Attention deficit or hyperactivity disorders
Effects of sexual, emotional, or physical abuse
Trauma resulting from neglect, loss, or instability

All youth in our care are placed through the State of

Texas and our program operates in full compliance with the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) and State Minimum Standards for Residential Child-Care Licensing.

Environmental Stability

At Resilience Residential Services (RRS), we recognize that a child’s environment plays a vital role in their healing and development. That’s why we provide a home setting that is not only safe, but also clean, structured, and nurturing.

For many of our residents, this is the first time they’ve experienced a stable home environment where routines are consistent and care is genuine. This sense of order and belonging fosters emotional security, promotes self-respect, and helps youth take pride in their surroundings.

A calm, organized atmosphere allows our residents to focus on what matters most — their healing, personal growth, and academic success.

Intake Services

Upon placement with Resilience Residential Services (RRS), each youth receives a comprehensive intake assessment conducted by licensed professionals. During this process, we evaluate their emotional and behavioral needs, medical history, educational background, and any areas requiring additional support.

Following the assessment, an individualized treatment plan is developed to guide their care, outlining specific goals for healing, growth, and stability. Each resident participates in regular one-on-one counseling sessions as well as weekly group therapy to build coping strategies, emotional awareness, and positive social skills.

Our licensed staff also oversee all medical and medication needs to ensure each youth’s physical well-being. Every resident receives routine medical, dental, and mental health checkups to support their overall health and long-term success.

Our Approach Includes:

24/7 Residential Care: Safe, supervised homes staffed with trained professionals who nurture emotional and physical wellbeing.

Trauma-Informed Counseling: Individual, group, and family therapy designed to address past trauma and build healthy coping skills.

Life Skills Development: Practical training in hygiene, cooking, budgeting, and communication to prepare youth for independence.

Education & Enrichment: On-site homeschooling support, tutoring, and extracurricular activities to keep youth academically engaged.

Community Integration: Volunteer projects and mentorship programs help youth connect, contribute, and feel empowered.

However, as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization operating under the fiscal sponsorship of Shell Hebert Career & Technical Academy,
Resilience Residential Services (RRS) cannot do this work alone. While our programs are partially funded by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, we also rely on the generosity of our community — including local businesses, donors, and partners — to help us continue providing safe housing, quality care, and life-changing opportunities for the youth we serve.
