Teen and Family Services
Mental Health and Substance Abuse Solutions for Today and the Rest of Your Child’s Life Teen and Family Services is committed to providing teens ages 13-18 and their families the tools, skills and knowledge to deal with mental health and substance abuse problems in a holistic way. The mission of Teen & Family Services is to be a community of families growing and healing from the negative effects of teen substance use, high-risk behaviors, and mental health issues. TAFS has developed a research-based program that has helped thousands of teens reclaim their lives. The prosocial model that TAFS utilizes provides a safe and sober environment for teens to socialize after school, in school, and on weekends. These students receive daily support by peers that can relate to common struggles and challenges. Through this supportive environment, teens are encouraged to make positive life choices and participate in recovery-related social activities. Understanding that these issues are prevalent throughout all socioeconomic strata, TAFS has expanded its efforts to reach low-income populations. TAFS's work serves many of Houston’s most challenged and underserved communities, such as Kashmere Gardens, Sunnyside, South Park, Near Northside, Sharpstown, and 5th Ward. TAFS also serves teens and families at its original location in the Memorial/Spring Branch area and in South Houston.
