What can Jennifer offer me and my family?
Thanks to a generous grant from UJA Federation of New York, the Partners in Caring (PIC) program provides free mental health services to the Shames JCC and the synagogues and congregations of the Rivertowns.
Please contact Jennifer if you are interested in receiving counseling or support services for yourself or your family. With enough interest, Jennifer is also available to develop tailored therapeutic groups, including psycho-educational, wellness related, or specific lifestyle support.
If Jennifer cannot directly meet your needs, she will happily make appropriate referrals.
