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.
Support Begins with You
Originally developed with the guidance of Rabbi Shimon Russell, LCSW and narrative therapist Batya Ruddell, our parent support groups serve as emotional first aid for families in crisis.
These groups give parents the space to:
• Relax in a safe, non-judgmental environment
• Hear from other families — what worked, what didn’t
• Create healthy boundaries so crisis doesn’t take over 24/7
• Stay informed about treatment options and resources
• Learn tools for stronger communication and compassionate parenting
• Receive feedback from peers who truly understand
• Become a source of strength for others
• Laugh again — even in the midst of pain
When parents are supported, families start to heal.
A Community That Grows With You
Our groups are led by trained professionals with deep experience supporting parents of at-risk teens. We believe that open, honest dialogue is the key to healing and growth.
• Over 75 families attend our groups regularly — many for 2–4 years
• Groups meet weekly or bi-weekly
• Separate groups exist for mothers, fathers, and siblings
• We’re open to creating new, specialized groups as needed
These groups help parents navigate deep waters, let go of guilt and shame, and rediscover connection — with themselves, with their children, and with one another.
Come join us.
You don’t have to do this alone.
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.
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.
