Impacting over 35,000 individuals annually, its mission is to provide human care services that build and strengthen individual, family and community life. LFS’ services-ranging from early intervention and prevention to intensive treatment-are as diverse as the people they serve. LFS’ programs and services are available to everyone regardless of age, race, religion or income.

The work of LFS is supported by caring members of the community whose contributions help make services available for those unable to pay full fee. In fact, at least 85% of all donations go directly to client services.

LFS is community-based. The agency seeks to build on individual, family and community strengths and restore individuals back into healthy relationships in families and community whenever possible. The agency is accredited by the Council on Accreditation for Children and Family Services (COA), a confirmation of the agency’s ongoing commitment to quality care.

As a multi-service agency, LFS demonstrates its mission through three broad service areas:

• Behavioral Health Services
• Children Services
• Community Services
