Mission Statement

Family Service League (FSL) helps individuals, children, and families to mobilize their strengths and improve the quality of their lives at home, in the workplace, and in the community.

Who We Are and What We Do

Originally founded in Huntington in 1926 as a grassroots social service agency, we—and our mission and reach—have grown substantially since then to provide the support and security more than 50,000 Long Islanders rely on every day.

With over 60 social service programs in more than 20 locations and committed staff and support personnel of approximately 800, we continue to serve Long Island’s most vulnerable citizens. From seniors seeking companionship and purpose and the homeless seeking shelter and nourishment to those suffering from addiction and mental illness and families working hard to stay together, FSL will continue to help our neighbors when they need it most.

Inpatient programs for children

The children’s inpatient program at South Oaks is designed for individuals age 5 through 12 who are experiencing symptoms of serious behavioral and/or emotional illness. Our program uses a strength-based model of treatment, and provides freedom, structure and positive reinforcement for our patients as they engage with our therapeutic rehabilitation program. Our treatments emphasize personal and community responsibility, character, education, individualized goal setting and alternative coping skills. At the same time, we ensure that individuals are able to meet their educational requirements through classes led on-site by certified educational professionals. The program is geared toward helping children re-enter their community and be more connected to their family, peers and school.

Inpatient programs for adolescents

The adolescent inpatient program at South Oaks is designed for individuals age 13 through 17 who are experiencing symptoms of serious behavioral and/or emotional illness and require intensive psychiatric treatment. Our program focuses the adolescent on specific, individualized goals aimed at reducing negative symptoms and increasing motivation and a feeling of personal and community responsibility. Treatments include psychiatric medication management, family sessions and therapy for those struggling with substance abuse, among other things. At the same time, we ensure that individuals are able to meet their educational requirements through classes led on-site by certified educational professionals. Our team is responsive to the unique needs of adolescents, and focused on empowering them to manage their symptoms, attain personal goals and function effectively when they re-enter the community.
