Our Milestones for Mental Health Campaign was a huge success! Together, we walked 12 miles and raised awareness for the often invisible weight of mental illness.
Our mission is to “empower children and families,” by providing necessary tools to develop and improve their own system for supporting their own needs, as they see and defines them.
Lodestar provides Home and Community Based (HCBS) and Children & Family Treatment & Support Services (CFTSS) for youth between the ages of 5-21 who are dealing with mental health challenges.

Lodestar is growing! We are currently looking for more staff members to help us better serve our youth! Join 50+ amazing workers changing lives in Brooklyn, Queens, Nassau, and Suffolk county!
Lodestar has released our first Quarterly Newsletter! This newsletter will allow us to share exciting news, events, and ways to incorporate mental health into your daily routine. Keep your eyes out for all the amazing things happening at Lodestar!
Lodestar had our first official in-person training since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic! While we are still being extremely cautious during these ever-changing times, being able to connect and share experiences under one roof after relying on virtual interactions for so long was extremely gratifying.
Lodestar currently serves around 145 families in four counties. Our staff has grown to over 60 employees, some of which have begun working with clients in Brooklyn! Lodestar also added a new board member – thank you to Michelle Caminas, longtime supporter and donor, for sharing your expertise.
Our fundraiser – Milestones for Mental Health – was a resounding success! Thanks to supporters like you, we were able to raise approximately $55,000, exceeding our goal! All of this money will go towards providing children with the beneficial services that they need to live fulfilling lives.
