UPpartnership
Together with Uppartnership, through shared commitment, we are pursuing a community wide mission: to ensure all young people in Bexar County are ready for the future. As a partner in the Future Ready Bexar County Plan, our institution will help San Antonio and Bexar County to become a place where healing, voice and access are the norm for our children and young people, rather than isolation, punishment and disconnection.
YWCA
YWCA is mission aligned with Teku through our work to support low-income mothers and families and reduce the impact of racism on our communities' health and wellbeing. YWCA helped us pilot our family mental health course. YWCA staff supported the co-application of grants to support this pilot work and co-leading of the educational and supportive spaces for the YWCA community. We are hopeful that our partnership will continue to grow.

corin reyes
MOM OF TWO FANTASTIC DAUGHTERS, RN, DIRECTOR OF HEALTH EQUITY AT YWCA SA
"Ever since I found out I was going to be a mom, I have made an effort to dig deep into parenting methods that helped to grow the entire character of my child. Hence, they are the best version of themselves. I've studied Dutch parenting techniques, gentle parenting, and conscious parenting. I never shy from an opportunity to learn more. Teku parenting classes added another level by having the parents explore their own triggers and what could be holding them back from showing up as their best selves. I enjoyed peeling back those layers, which has helped me be kinder to myself and my children"

PARENT OF THREE AMAZING CHILDREN
"I really enjoyed participating in the Teku parenting program. Navigating parenting has been a difficult journey for me as a mom. Being reminded of mindfulness activities such as guided meditations and grounding exercises helped me access ways to manage stress. I enjoyed meeting with the Teku team during the skill-building check-in as they addressed the areas I was experiencing difficulty in while supporting my family. Learning more about DBT and the principle of wise mind was especially helpful and I found I was showing up in my parenting with a calmer attitude. I truly enjoyed this program and was sad to see it come to an end. Thank you, Teku for guiding me on my parenting journey! I'm incredibly thankful"
SUEÑOS SIN FRONTERAS
SA-BASED COLLECTIVE WORKING AT THE INTERSECTIONS OF REPRODUCTIVE JUSTICE AND IMMIGRANT JUSTICE
Collaborating and co-creating with the Teku team, in particular, Dr. Barbara Robles-Ramamurthy, has been an inspiring and momentous experience for Sueños Sin Fronteras as a collective focused on health and healing for immigrant communities in San Antonio, Texas. Teku provides the community with virtual and physical spaces to learn and connect in Spanish, which directly increases access and empowers us to use our own words and experiences to address stigma around mental health in our communities. We are deeply grateful to work alongside professionals like Teku and Dr. Barbara Robles-Ramamurthy, who are experienced in providing mental health support centered around a family’s whole well-being while connecting to our cultural roots and ways of knowing. We look forward to our continued collaboration with Teku.
