Counseling Services Resources
Mental health has become a growing issue for our families. More and more children are suffering from depression, anxiety, and other disorders that need to be addressed. But many families are not equipped to handle their children’s behaviors or diagnoses, and they don’t know where to turn.
How We Help
Our professional staff offers counseling to individuals and families.
JFCS Counseling Services has also developed a handbook, Everything You Wanted to Know About Your Child’s Mental Health But Are Afraid To Ask. The information in the handbook is provided to educate families about mental health and guide them through an often difficult journey.
You can read an electronic copy of this handbook below. Hard copies are available at no charge from JFCS Counseling Services. You may want to share them with colleagues, families, teachers and others.
This handbook was made possible through the generosity of the Seed family in memory of Alex Edward Seed, and funded by the Alex Seed Mental Health Fund with assistance from Rodef Shalom Congregation.
