This study aimed to verify the perception of family support and self-concept and seek correlations between the constructs in three different groups. Participants 157 children and adolescents aged between 10 and 18 years and 68 received institutionally (G1), 58 public school students (G2) and 31 adolescents offenders (G3). Inventário de Percepção do Suporte Familiar (IPSF) and the Escala de Autoconceito Infantojuvenil (EAC-IJ) were applied. The main results showed that the groups G1, G2 and G3 remained in ascending order as the averages presented, both in family support as in self-concept. Weak or moderate correlations were found between instruments. The only correlation that remained was between the Family Self-concept and Affective Factor Consistent. The results corroborate the literature for inclusion of family support development of self-concept. Future research can investigate these two constructs in different groups of children and adolescents.
