Jewish Board of Family and Children's Services [1]
The Jewish Board provides critical health and human services for all New Yorkers, regardless of religion, ethnicity, cultural background, gender identification, ability or age. We help adults and children living with mental illness, families and individuals who need supportive housing, adolescents who deserve a safe and protected environment within which to recover, people living with developmental disabilities, and New Yorkers who need counseling and mental health services to address specific issues. We offer a range of trauma-informed clinical services for children, adolescents and their families including comprehensive assessment, psychiatric services, crisis intervention, individual, family, group, and other types of therapies in outpatient, in-home and residential settings and employ a range of evidence-based and trauma-informed treatments including Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, STAIR-NST, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. In collaboration with the NCTSN, The Jewish Board has participated in the development of TF-CBT adaptations for use with LGBTQ+ youth and youth who have been commercially sexually exploited (CSEC), and numerous resources to support LGBTQ+ affirming care for traumatized youth and their families.
