Message from
Our President and CEO
Partnerships have always been vitally important to
Family Service League’s success as an organization
and this year is no exception. We continued to grow
our alliances in order to better serve our clients.
As an example, we are embarking on a wonderful
partnership with the Boys and Girls Club of the
Bellport Area to provide an array of services including mental health, chemical dependency, senior
services (SeniorNet), therapeutic recreation for children and hopefully much
more. Working together to blend the best of both organizations is good for
the community.
We also continue to strengthen our presence of co-locations within medical
practices to provide mental health services to patients as needed. These practices are located in Southampton, Mattituck, Shirley and Riverhead. The
outcomes for our clients who receive both primary and behavioral healthcare
under one roof is optimal for everyone.
Our wonderful partnership with the North Shore –LIJ Health System at
Southside Hospital continues to be an outstanding alliance in demonstrating
the importance of an integrated model of health care. During the last three
years, we are demonstrating positive health outcomes with various metrics. My
thanks to Dr. Jay Enden, Medical Director of Southside, and FSL Board Trustee,
Donna Moravick, Executive Director of Southside, and Winnie Mack, Regional
Director, Eastern Region for NS-LIJ, for their support and commitment to
these initiatives.
Family Service League has also formed an Independent Practice Association
with four other human service agencies to help strengthen our strategic position during this time of great system transformation. Along with FEGS, FREE,
PSCH, and MHA of Nassau County, we are designing creative and innovative
models of care to improve access, quality and efficiencies. We all recognize
that collaborations and strategic alliances are our new world and the Long
Island Behavioral Alliance (LIBA) is forging ahead in creating an integrated
behavioral health network of providers for access to regional, high quality,
behavioral healthcare.
This year continues to provide many, many challenges, but an equal number
of opportunities as well.
My thanks to all of our wonderful partners who join us in our resolve to
Restore Hope and Rebuild Lives.

Family Service League Receives
$150,000 Donation from JPMorgan Chase
New program prepares youth and adults for careers in Medical Billing
Family Service League (FSL) received a $150,000 grant from
JPMorgan Chase & Co. to support the Medical Billing Certificate
program. This new vocational training program, located at William
Floyd High School, in Mastic Beach will prepare students for
careers in the high-growth field of Medical Billing. Participants
who complete the program will graduate with the required certification to enable them to find a job in this fast-growing sector.
to mobilize their strengths and improve the quality of their lives
at home, in the workplace and in the community. JPMorgan Chase
is a valued partner of our agency.”
FSL’s Medical Billing Certificate program is a collaboration with the
William Floyd School District and Suffolk County Community
College (SCCC). The program is offered as part of William Floyd
High School’s Business Academy. Both day and evening classes will
be available and will serve both high school students and adults
in the community. For additional information, contact Jodi
Lieberman at 631-647-3146 or jlieberman@fsl-li.org.
The need for Medical Billing Specialists is expected to increase in
the years ahead. According to the US Department of Labor’s Bureau
of Labor Statistics, Medical Assistants, which include Medical Billers,
have a projected growth rate of 24 % on Long Island, much faster
than the average for all occupations.
“Family Service League is thrilled to enhance our portfolio of
employment-related programs with this new addition”, says Karen
Boorshtein, FSL President and CEO. “Over the years, JPMorgan
Chase has provided critical support to Family Service League, helping
us to fulfill our mission to help individuals, children, and families
Community Behavioral
Health Collaborative
Brings Needed Services
to Town of East Hampton
Family Service League
Partners with Boys & Girls
Club of the Bellport Area
The East Hampton school community has identified and
requested assistance in meeting an increasing need for children’s
mental health services. This has been exacerbated by rapidly
changing demographics that have increased the Spanish speaking population to over 50% of the school children. The
Community Behavioral Health Collaborative is a new initiative
being implemented in the Town of East Hampton. The intent is
to complement the expansion of mental health treatment services for children through the FSL East Hampton clinic with early
identification, prevention and educational services for children
and families. The initiative consists of the establishment of a
community school in the Springs K-8 school district in order to
provide family support, assistance and education as well as
workshops on various parenting issues throughout the town
in English and Spanish.
Family Service League began
providing services at the Boys
& Girls Club of the Bellport
Area facilities on August 2nd.
This new partnership will expand
the availability of services to
children and families in the Bellport community. RECESS, a therapeutic recreation program for children ages 7-14 with serious
emotional problems, is the first Family Service League (FSL) program to be housed at this facility, to be followed shortly by mental
health and substance abuse clinics. Future FSL programs to partner at the Boys and Girls Club include CAIR (Community Advocacy,
Information and Referral), and SeniorNet, a computer training
program for seniors.
In addition, we will be working closely with the East Hampton
School Districts to provide emotional well-being screenings for
young children and to increase awareness of children’s mental
health issues throughout the community. We will also provide
training to the community that will enhance team membership
in our Community Crisis Action Team (C-CAT) so that we may
better respond to east end incidents.
According to Tracie Romandetti, Executive Director of the Boys &
Girls Club of the Bellport Area, “the addition of Family Service
League programs to our site will complement the services currently provided and enhance the programs we are able to offer
the children and families in the Bellport community.” In addition
to providing much-needed programs for youth, this state-of-theart facility will offer programs for adults and seniors from the
surrounding area.

A Vegetable Garden Grows at SuffolkHope
SuffolkHope is Family Service League’s home to 6 men who were previously homeless. Today, the
home has a new vegetable garden which is thriving under the careful care of two residents, Steve and
Kenny. Both gentlemen have been residents of SuffolkHope for the past two years and, though they
traveled very different roads to get there, they became fast friends and discovered they both have a
love of gardening, cooking and trying to eat a healthy diet.
Motivated to install a garden in the back yard, they contacted the Huntington Community Garden
Director who happily helped them. Turning the soil, buying plants, watering, fertilizing, staking tomatoes and weeding took considerable time and effort. Now the hard work has paid off and they are
enjoying the harvest. This garden means more to these gentlemen than just food to eat — they learned
that by planting a small seed, big things can grow.

by the disease of addiction. The FSL Dependency Treatment
Program for Professionals provides the confidential comprehensive support of therapy with a focus on the unique challenges that
are faced in the workplace.
Much like FSL’s other family centers, services will highlight the
one stop shopping model beginning with services designed to
assess the family’s needs. Services to be offered on-site will
include relief and welfare, referral, advocacy, counseling and
educational workshops focused on strengthening families. The
center will be open Monday through Friday and will include
two days with evening hours.
Each individual entering the FSL medically supervised program has
a plan specifically developed to fit their needs. The program provides an assessment and evaluation to assist in determining the
level of care needed to support recovery and maintain abstinence.

Children Enjoy Summer Baseball
Games Thanks to Seats of Dreams
and the Long Island Ducks
Thanks to the generosity of King Kullen Corp., and the people who shop and donate at King Kullen stores, Family Service
League was presented with the first of two checks to help send
children to summer camp. King Kullen has been a dedicated supporter of Family Service League and the Long Island community,
helping children
whose families
are struggling
with financial
hardship to
enjoy a carefree
summer camp
experience.
Over 130 children and their families were invited to enjoy a
Long Island Ducks baseball game this summer due to the generous efforts of the Seats of Dreams organization. The games
have been a wonderful experience, providing families the
opportunity to come together for a special day at the ballpark.
Seats of Dreams, a national nonprofit launched in 2012, gives
donated sports and entertainment tickets to disadvantaged,
disabled or sick children. Those who donate receive a tax
receipt for the value of the ticket. “It’s always a great thing to
be able to find an asset that someone doesn’t want and create
value out of it for someone else,” stated Mr. Greenbaum, cofounder of Seats of Dreams.
Our thanks to Seats of Dreams, their efforts work well with the
FSL mission of helping LI families mobilize their strengths and
improve the quality of their lives at home and in the community.

Flexible Employment
Program Benefits from
Assistance of Volunteer
Joseph Malone
A retired United States Air Force Electronics Technician
and Staff Sergeant, with years teaching experience, Joe
Malone has generously devoted his time to Family
Services League’s Flexible Employment Program. The
program is a self-paced computer and clerical training
program that also teaches work readiness skills and provides job placement services.
Joe works remarkably well with our clients who come to
us with various disabilities including learning, physical,
psychiatric, and substance abuse challenges. Joe’s
patience and understanding of each individual’s learning
style, needs, and aptitude have been beneficial and welcomed by students and staff alike. His dedication,
enthusiasm, and level of commitment have consistently
reflected in his teaching methods as well as the additional projects and assignments he has created for his
students to reinforce their newly acquired skills.
Words cannot express the appreciation the Flexible
Employment Program has for Joe Malone. His time, efforts,
and work have been priceless.

FSL as a Case Manager in 2000. During the ensuing
years, she assumed more responsibility in the agency.

Susan Buonasera To Retire
Later this year, we will say goodbye to our Vice
President for Development, Susan Buonasera. Susan
will be retiring at the end of December after serving
the not-for-profit community for more than 40 years.
We were fortunate to have her with Family Service
League for the past seven years. Susan’s attention to
detail and thorough knowledge of fundraising strategies and leadership skills have served us all well. She
has worked side by side with me as well as the entire
Board and staff, to elevate FSL’s fundraising capability throughout her tenure.
While we still have a few more months with Susan, I wanted to note this in
our newsletter as this will be the last one she puts together for us. A job well
done. Thank you Susan.
