Plan to be there for the Domestic Violence Awareness Walk! 💜

We’re honored to be a source of support during some of the toughest moments in life.

We are passionate about what we do and are deeply committed to helping survivors find safety and healing. From the first call to a fresh start, we’re here every step of the way—because no one should face these challenges alone. 💜

This year, we proudly launched our Helpline Support volunteer program, and we need passionate individuals like you to be the first voice survivors hear when they reach out for help. 💜

As a Helpline Support volunteer, you play a crucial role in their journey—providing comfort, compassion, and connection in their time of need. Your support could be the first step toward safety and healing for someone in crisis. Join us in making a difference.

Leaving an abusive situation is hard enough without having to worry about your pet’s safety. 🐾

That’s why we’re proud to offer an onsite kennel at our Safe House, so survivors don’t have to leave their furry family members behind- no matter what kind of pet they may have! We know that the thought of leaving pets behind can be a huge barrier when someone is trying to escape abuse, and this service helps eliminate that worry. Your pet is welcome here, too. 💜

Too many teens are navigating their mental health in silence, and we believe it’s time for that to change. 💬

Family Support Services is deeply committed to the teens in our community and their well-being. Our affordable counseling services, free groups, and programs offer a safe place to open up, connect, and find support. No one should have to face their struggles alone, and we’re here to make sure they don’t. 💛

Thank you so much, Xcel Energy Texas!! 🎉

Our volunteers are out in full force today as we celebrate our annual Day of Service.

This dedicated team put good energy into action through a variety landscaping, repair, and general maintenance duties onsite at the Family Support Services of Amarillo, whose mission is to empower individuals and families through comprehensive advocacy, education, and intervention services.

Thank you to all our volunteers!

Remember, you are deserving of the same love and compassion you so freely give to others. 💛

You are worthy of respect, kindness, and care, and it’s okay to ask for help when you need it. Family Support Services is here to lend a hand and remind you that you don’t have to carry life’s burdens alone.

Let today be a gentle reminder to embrace your worth and reach out whenever you need support. We’re in this together. 🌟

Human trafficking is a reality in our own backyard, but we’re not standing by.

We’re committed to ending it in the Texas Panhandle, and you can be a part of this crucial work. Join our coalition, get involved in awareness efforts, or volunteer to make a tangible difference.

We have an event coming up this week that you don't want to miss- The True Story Art Show . Plan on being there and learn more ways you can become involved!

$83.36 might seem like a number, but to a survivor, it’s so much more—it’s a night of safety, comfort, and the chance to breathe without fear.

It’s the warmth of a secure bed, a kitchen with the groceries they need for themselves and their children, the reassurance of knowing they’re not alone, and the first step towards healing.

Your donation can provide this precious gift of hope and healing. Every act of kindness counts—whether it’s giving your time as a volunteer or simply sharing this post, you’re making a real difference. 💜
