Lutheran Social Services recognizes this week as Birth Trauma Awareness Week.

1 in 3 women experience the birth of a child as traumatic, many of which go on to experience symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

Early intervention for children with identified disabilities and developmental delays, and for children at risk for developmental delay can have a significant impact on a child’s ability to learn new skills and overcome challenges.

You're never alone with LSS.

LSS provides early intervention services to young children through our Birth to Three Program for children with identified disabilities and developmental delay.
