Building Healthy Families:: Experiencing a private concern that you don’t want to talk about with your friends or family? Don’t look for help online. There you may find “answers,” but they’ll be from a faceless post or AI-generated source that provides simplistic solutions or platitudes that aren’t consistent with teachings of the historic faith that have guided and sustained generations long before the internet gave influencers a platform. LFS has mental health, marriage and family, grief and loss education and support, unplanned pregnancy and adoption counselors available to you via confidential telehealth link no matter where you live. At LFS you’ll find real people who are experienced helpers – equipped to provide confidential, sound counsel – who share your Lutheran Christian faith. Why struggle alone or scroll online when real help is available? Call us – it’s why we’re here! Learn more at www.LutheranFamilyService.org Lutheran Family Service
