A Youth Social-Emotional Wellness and Substance Use Prevention Program
LSM Communications, LLC, (LSM) created the South Bay Families Connected (SBFC) project, an evidence-based youth wellness and substance use prevention program that is offered at no charge to all South Bay schools. Established in August of 2015, SBFC is a 501c. Thanks to ongoing donations from program sponsors, there is no fee and access to all content -- the event calendar, monthly e-newsletter, curated resource galleries for teens and parents, SBFC event videos and original productions, parent blogs, teen blogs, and more -- is unlimited.
Youth Social-Emotional Wellness Clients
Many South Bay districts and schools have opted for a customized wellness program and have engaged LSM to produce their unique Families Connected wellness website or webpage, a branded location where their teen wellness goals, information and resources are housed, and which provides a direct portal to the SBFC content they choose to share with their parents. On an ongoing basis, LSM provides Partner Schools and Districts with monthly wellness blurbs with links to events, the e-newsletter, and new content for dissemination to parents, as well as teen wellness best-practices consulting. SBFC Districts and Schools include:
Mira Costa High School (launched 8/15)
Manhattan Beach Middle School (launched 5/16)
Redondo Unified School District (first launched at Redondo Union High School 1/17)
Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District (first launched at Palos Verdes High School, 11/16)
