“It’s sort of a cycle people accidentally get wrapped up into and then are kind of put into this stigma or stereotype about them. I want to help work to take apart those stereotypes.” Hear from Keira Lassegue as she shares her passion for prevention work as a founding member of FCA’s Youth Prevention Group. Thank you Keira for sharing your story with us, and thank you for all that you do! #WeAreFCA #ThroughTheirEyes #GetToKnowFCA #SubstanceUse #YouthPrevention #PreventionWork

We are so excited to be working with Family & Children's Association as we help share the magic of Carnegie Hall's Lullaby Project with more families.
In 2025, we launched something truly special; the Lullaby Project with Long Island Children's Museum! Thanks to the support of Flagstar Foundation, our PACT & CO-OP Nursery families worked with amazing musicians to create personal lullabies, strengthening bonds, supporting maternal health, and celebrating early childhood. We can't wait for the year-end concert where families will share their heartfelt songs and stories! #WeAreFCA #GetToKnowFCA #PACT #LullabyProject
