Created and Made Possible by…
LSM Communications, LLC (LSM), produced the Families Connected concept in February of 2015 and privately funded and launched the Families Connected website and South Bay Families Connected (SBFC) logo and youth wellness brand in August 2015. The SBFC non-profit and Board was created in November 2017 by a dedicated group of South Bay volunteers. LSM continued to subsidize SBFC through December 2019, producing its videos, events, quality assurance and on-line response pro-bono. LSM president, Laura Short McIntire, continues to serve as the volunteer Program Director of SBFC. All current programming is made possible through SBFC’s contracts and the generous donations from its supporters.
