Empowering individuals and families to transform their lives and strengthen our communities.

Since 1903, Family Service has been supporting, strengthening and serving San Antonio and surrounding communities. 

Our mission is brought forth by addressing the social determinants of health through a trauma-informed care lens. The social determinants of health are where people live, learn, work, play, and age. They are broken into the five categories as set by Healthy People 2030: economic stability, education, health and health care, neighborhood and built environment, and social and community context. 

We aim to help all of our clients in any area they are in need. When someone comes to Family Service for one area of help, we hope to further them in all areas. We do all of this while keeping in mind that each individual’s experiences are different, and those experiences shape how we navigate life. Working with our clients through a trauma-informed care lens ensures we meet them where they are today.

Our Mission

Who We Are

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.

We work to address the social determinants of health through a trauma-informed care lens. The social determinants of health are where people live, learn, work, play, and age. Our programs address financial sustainability, children's and adult's education, health and health care, neighborhood support, and social engagement.

Thank you for helping and supporting our mission to empower individuals and families to transform their lives and strengthening our community.
