OHEL Children's Home and Family Services was established with the sole aim of strengthening individuals and families through numerous programs that identify and meet several societal needs. In its over 40 years of existence, OHEL Family Services has provided several comprehensive initiatives across the entire New York metropolis and other surrounding communities. These services include foster care programs, adolescent residential programs, domestic violence, sexual abuse counseling, and mental health services.
OHEL's family mental health programs are for individuals with acute mental health disorders and those with everyday emotional issues. Its regional family centers across New Jersey, Rockaway, and Brooklyn are responsible for coordinating these services. These centers have experienced mental health professionals who are fluent in Hebrew, English, and Yiddish and understand the complex cultures of these communities. This cultural diversity enables them to relate with the individuals from these climes and provide them with the support and healing they require.
The numerous mental health and emotional issues handled by OHEL Family Services include depression, schizophrenia, panic disorders, bipolar disorders, eating disorders, addictions, and post-traumatic stress disorders.
