LSA Family Health Service is dedicated to enhancing the well-being of families through a variety of supports designed to foster healthy development, emotional support and community connection. 

Benefits & Entitlement Screening and Navigation Support

LSA is committed to ensuring that families have access to the resources they need. Our staff assists families in understanding and applying for various benefits and entitlements, including WIC (Women, Infants, and Children), SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program), childcare vouchers, pre-K and early head start applications, and health insurance programs. By providing information and navigation support, we empower families to access critical support services that can alleviate financial burdens and improve health and well-being.

Supporting the Whole Family

LSA Family Health Service is dedicated to supporting parents and their young children at every stage of their journey. Our programs not only aim to enhance individual family health but also to strengthen community ties, fostering an environment where all families can flourish.

Understanding the importance of community and how social isolation affects well-being, LSA offers support groups that foster connections among parents. These groups create safe spaces for sharing experiences, challenges, and triumphs related to parenting. Facilitated by experienced staff, the support groups focus on topics such as postpartum wellness, parenting strategies, and sharing resources. Mothers benefit not only from emotional support but also from the camaraderie of others facing similar challenges, reinforcing a sense of belonging and community.

Nutrition and Health Workshops

As part of United Way of NYC’s Connect2Care Project, LSA provides nutrition education to pregnant women in a Lunch and Learn format on a quarterly basis. Workshops and other events will be offered on a regular basis in partnership with health organizations such as Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Mount Sinai Hospital, and others.
