The social network is conceived as a fundamental element for the human being, given that through it are woven and build personal, family, community and social relationships. In the context of this research, the main interest was the identification and description of the functioning and structure of the social network of family care and promotion programs, led by the Air Force's Family and Social Welfare Division (DIFAB) Colombian (FAC). Participated 25 people, 10 mothers and parents of the support services offered by DIFAB and 15 Professionals (Psychologists, Social Workers, Teachers, Chaplains) that make up the Mobile Intervention Teams of the FAC.
