Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common childhood disorders found in the nation. Scientists are not sure what causes ADHD but believe genetics, environmental factors, and even nutrition may play a part.
People who live with ADHD may:
- Become easily distracted, forgetful, and miss details
- Have difficulty following directions
- Become quickly bored with tasks
- Have trouble completing and turning in homework
- Fidget and squirm in their seats
- Talk nonstop
If you think you or someone you love just can’t focus, find help and hope by contacting one of these local organizations.

CIS collaborates with schools to connect students and families to tailored community resources, addressing health, behavioral, and family crises. Serving students facing challenges such as poverty, substance abuse, and poor mental health, CIS ensures safe and healthy environments both at school and at home.
Basic Needs: Students aren’t at their best if they are hungry, cold, tired, or don’t have the necessities, like clothing, school supplies or hygiene items. CIS Site Coordinators see to it that students can focus on learning and teachers can focus on teaching.
Academic Assistance: Sometimes students just need a little assistance to lift them to success. We connect students with the extra support they need to succeed.
Healthy Initiatives: Healthier children make better students. It’s hard to focus on math and reading if a student can’t see the blackboard, is suffering from mental health issues, a tooth ache, or absent because of untreated asthma. Addressing health and mental health needs with the help of our community partners keeps students in school, focused, and ready to learn.
Social Emotional Health: We want students to approach people and challenges in healthy ways. How do you learn to pay attention? Solve problems or conflicts with others? Be persistent in the face of frustration? Our students are learning these and other critical life skills thanks to relationships with CIS Site Coordinators.
College and Career Exploration: For students pursuing college, we help decipher the application process, explore scholarship opportunities, tour campuses and conduct mock interviews. For those planning to enter the work force, we help students discover enjoyable, sustainable career paths and connect them to internships, job shadowing opportunities and leadership training courses. For those undecided, our Project Success coordinators provide a safe sounding board to articulate goals and fears, and explore options.

At the CACCC, we use a prevention program called Darkness to Light: Stewards of Children (D2L) that focuses on teaching adults in a community how to keep children safer from sexual abuse. Our trained facilitator is available to help parents, groups, organizations and clubs learn how to better prevent abuse from happening. At every training, adults will be given useful, practical information on how to keep children safer and organizations will learn how to implement policies that will show they take preventing child abuse seriously.

Academic Assistance: Sometimes students just need a little assistance to lift them to success. We connect students with the extra support they need to succeed.
Healthy Initiatives: Healthier children make better students. It’s hard to focus on math and reading if a student can’t see the blackboard, is suffering from mental health issues, a tooth ache, or absent because of untreated asthma. Addressing health and mental health needs with the help of our community partners keeps students in school, focused, and ready to learn.
Social Emotional Health: We want students to approach people and challenges in healthy ways. How do you learn to pay attention? Solve problems or conflicts with others? Be persistent in the face of frustration? Our students are learning these and other critical life skills thanks to relationships with CIS Site Coordinators.
College and Career Exploration: For students pursuing college, we help decipher the application process, explore scholarship opportunities, tour campuses and conduct mock interviews. For those planning to enter the work force, we help students discover enjoyable, sustainable career paths and connect them to internships, job shadowing opportunities and leadership training courses. For those undecided, our Project Success coordinators provide a safe sounding board to articulate goals and fears, and explore options.

Asking for help can be difficult, but everyone needs help sometimes. Counseling can be of benefit if you are depressed or anxious; if you are experiencing grief, trauma, or abuse; or if you are simply struggling with everyday life. Counseling can be a difficult process but also a deeply rewarding one. River City Advocacy’s counseling program serves New Braunfels, Comal County, and the surrounding areas.
We offer individual, couples, and family counseling by appointment.
Fees for counseling are set based on income and family size, ensuring that working families and others in need in our community have the opportunity to afford the care they need.
