As summer settles in, June brings important opportunities to reflect, connect, and take proactive steps toward our well-being. It’s Men’s Health Month, Pride Month, and a season where many of us finally catch our breath. At LECSA, we’re proud to walk alongside our EAP members and community partners—offering support that meets the moment, whatever that looks like for you.
Take care of yourself and each other,
Megan Dwyer, LCSW, CEAP, SAP

Mental & Physical Health Go Hand in Hand
June is Men’s Health Month, a timely reminder to check in with ourselves and our loved ones. Physical wellness, mental health, emotional stress—these are all connected, and none of them should be ignored. Too often, men are taught to push through instead of reach out. We’re here to remind you: support is strength. Whether you’re facing stress, burnout, grief, substance use, or relationship issues—our confidential services are just a call away.
Celebrating Pride Month
We honor and support our LGBTQ+ community—not just this month, but always. Pride is about visibility, inclusion, and affirming that everyone deserves safety, dignity, and care LECSA offers LGBTQ+-affirming counseling, family support, and workplace guidance for both members and employers committed to equity and belonging.

Stories of Belonging/Historias de Pertenencia: TPS Workers Exhibit in Long Island, NY
There are approximately 325,000 Central American workers with Temporary Protective Status (TPS) fully employed in the U.S. today who have resided and worked in the U.S. for more than 25 years. Many of these are mixed immigration status homes where their children may be U.S. citizens, DACA recipients, or undocumented. Workers with TPS have built their lives in the U.S.; they own homes and businesses and are hard-working. They contribute to their communities by paying taxes and engaging in civic organizations, advocating for their children’s future, and fighting for their right to a path to permanent residency and citizenship. They feel at home in the United States; they are at home.
“Stories of Belonging” explores the history of their struggle for rights and justice as migrant workers, for union organizing, and for American citizenship rights.
Summer is the Perfect Time to Check In
Many members find that summer offers just a bit more breathing room—and it can be a great time to finally schedule that counseling appointment, attend a training, or reach out for career or family support.
