Celebrating Millie: 6 Years of Dedication
May 13th, we are beyond proud to celebrate Millie’s 6-year anniversary with LECSA. Millie’s commitment to our mission, her tireless energy, and her ability to lead with heart have left an unforgettable mark on our team and the communities we serve.
Whether she’s navigating complex cases or offering encouragement to a colleague, her presence is a gift.
Millie, thank you for six incredible years of service, advocacy, and care. We are so lucky to have you!
Take care of yourself and each other,

May is Mental Health Awareness Month (& More)
May brings attention to several deeply important causes:
- Mental Health Awareness Month
- National Foster Care Month
- ALS Awareness Month
- National Nurses Week (May 6–12)
- And of course, Mother’s Day (May 12)
At LECSA, we recognize that each of these observances represents real people, real struggles, and real resilience. Rather than focus on just one, we honor them all — because every story matters.
Additionally, A NAMI-Ipsos poll conducted in January 2025, which focused on full-time workers employed at companies across industries with at least 100 employees, found that the workforce believes mental health at work to be important but are in need of more information and support from leadership.
Mother’s Day: Celebrating the Women Who Shape Us
Mother’s Day is a beautiful opportunity to celebrate the women who nurture, guide, and inspire us… whether they’re biological mothers, chosen family, mentors, or friends.
For many, it’s a day of love and joy. For others, it can also bring up grief, longing, or complicated emotions. However you experience this day, we honor your story.
If you’re navigating loss or difficult feelings this season, you are not alone and support is always available.
Grief, Hallmark Holidays & Seasonal Shifts
As the seasons change, so can our emotional landscapes. Holidays often stir up feelings of loss or longing, especially for those navigating grief.
