Our Mission
Empowering individuals and families to transform their lives and strengthen their community.
We work to address the social determinants of health through a trauma-informed care lens.
Family Service has been a pillar of support in the community since 1903. With various services in 14 counties throughout South Texas, our programs have grown to meet the changing needs of our community and address the gaps in services that emerge.
Our Programs
Transformational services lay the groundwork for a healthy community.
To enact true transformation for our clients, Family Service focuses on wraparound services impacting every stage of life from prenatal to seniors with a focus on intergenerational changes.
Our over 20 program offerings are broken into five categories around the social determinants of health.
We focus on: economic stability, education, health and healthcare, neighborhood support, and social and community engagement all through a trauma-informed care lens.
