Home of the Tiny Essentials Relief Hub
Preventing child welfare crises by advancing caregiver wellness, maternal health, and family well-being.
Welcome
Linked Family Services (LFS) is dedicated to helping families thrive by focusing on what matters most: prevention, wellness, and access.
We work alongside parents and caregivers to strengthen protective factors, reduce stressors, and build healthier futures across generations.
At LFS, prevention is not just an idea—it’s a practice. Through our Tiny Essentials Relief Hub, we connect families with the resources and relationships that help them stay strong and supported. From providing essential goods to fostering parental confidence and community connections, we believe that when caregivers are equipped, children are protected, and communities are strengthened.
Our prevention work also centers on addressing the Health-Related Social Needs (HRSN)that shape family stability—ensuring every household has access to the essentials, opportunities, and support networks they need to thrive.

FOCUS AREAS
Caregiver Wellness
Strong families begin with supported caregivers (adults caring for children). We promote caregiver well-being through education, support groups, wellness experiences, family support services, and resource navigation that reduce stress and strengthen the capacity to care for children. By investing in caregivers, we help create healthier, more stable environments where children can thrive.
2. Development-Centered Parenting & Family Support
We equip caregivers with the knowledge, skills, and support needed to foster healthy child development and positive family relationships. Through parenting education, parent-child engagement opportunities, and prevention-focused programming, we strengthen protective factors that help families grow with confidence.
3. Resource Navigation & Care Coordination
Families often face barriers that extend beyond parenting alone. Through the Tiny Essentials Relief Hub, concrete supports, community partnerships, and prevention-focused family support, we connect families to essential resources and services that reduce stress, address Health-Related Social Needs (HRSNs), and promote long-term family stability.
