This past weekend, our hearts were deeply saddened by the tragic events that occurred at this year's 53rd Old West End Festival.

LSSNWO extends our sincerest prayers, love, and support to all those affected. We lift up every victim, every family member, every friend, and every community member in support & prayer.

This is our neighborhood, and our doors are open to anyone that is in need of support during this difficult time.

Did you know? June is MEN'S MENTAL HEALTH MONTH! This month serves as a reminder that health is more than physical well-being. Mental health, emotional wellness, social connection, and access to support all play a role in helping men live healthy, fulfilling lives.

At LSSNWO, we know that asking for help isn't always easy. That's why we're committed to creating welcoming spaces where men can find support, build connections, and access resources when they need them most.

Through our behavioral health services, education groups, and community-based programs, we work alongside individuals and families to help overcome challenges and strengthen overall well-being.

This month, we encourage everyone to check in with the men in their lives, prioritize preventive care, and remember that seeking support is a sign of strength.
