St. Louis Office

Over 5,000 children experienced abuse or neglect in 2018; a statistic that crosses all socioeconomic and educational levels, religions, ethnic and cultural groups. When adverse childhood experiences such as abuse and neglect are not addressed, lifelong medical, mental and social suffering can occur. Through our behavioral health, community prevention, child development and family services, LFCS nurtures and supports children and families who are at risk. Our services offer real solutions that lead to safety, permanency and well-being for those we serve.

The services provided by LFCS are open to everyone regardless of race, faith, national origin, gender, or age.  Over 80% of the clients served are not of the Lutheran faith. The St. Louis office is the headquarters for statewide efforts.
