LIFT is dedicated to raising awareness about the needs of all families raising children and youth with emotional, behavioral and mental health challenges. Our Mission Long Island Families Together, Inc., as a parent and youth governed organization, will provide a strong voice to ensure that children and youth with emotional, behavioral and mental health challenges and their families have access to needed information, supports and services. Our Vision LIFT envisions a Long Island community where children's mental health matters, and families and youth are empowered to reach their full potential, without the fear of stigma.
