Our Programs
Parent Support Group
Gain from the experience of others stuck in the same struggle,
as well as those who’ve made it to the other side.
Kol Haneshamot is about real PIKUACH NEFESH and there is no one in RBS who is providing anything close to what they do.”
Stay educated; become empowered.
Our guest speakers and workshops teach us how to fight the most complex battles effectively.
And often, to prevent them altogether.
Under the guidance of Rabbi Shimon Russell LCSW and narrative therapist Batya Ruddell, the groups are the first aid for the family in pain.
Our groups allow parents to:
-
Relax in a non-judgmental environment.
-
Hear from other families about what has worked and what hasn’t.
-
Dedicate time to focus on the issue (rather than overtaking them 24/7).
-
Stay up-to-date on relevant treatment options and developments.
-
Learn tools to improve communication and parenting skills.
-
Receive feedback from peers who truly understand.
-
Become a giver and help other parents think through their situations.
-
Share the good times and laugh a little.
The groups are run by trained professionals with extensive experience working with teens and their families. An open dialogue is the key to growth.
Currently, we have 75 families who attend our groups regularly for 2-4 years.
Groups are held weekly or bi-weekly. Separate groups exist for mothers, fathers, and siblings, and we are open to creating more specialized programs as needed.
Help each other navigate these challenging waters. Dismiss feelings of guilt, shame, and anger.
Come and join us.
Experience has shown us that staying current on mental health developments and reviewing the basics of our mission as parents can give us the push to be effective with our teens. At least once a month, we host a guest lecturer to uplift the community and deliver practical, actionable tasks. We need the larger community to understand our children's struggles.
