Westchester Jewish Community Services (WJCS)

Using evidenced based practice, wjcs provides outpatient mental health Services through four free standing clinics that are located through Westchester as well as satellite clinics located in schools and the Community. Included in this system are specialized programs for treating victims of sexual abuse, domestic violence and other traumas, a mobile mental health service for children who have serious mental health issues and cannot come to a clinic and counseling for children and adults who have developmental disabilities with concomitant mental health problems. We also have specific programs for people with chronic and persistent mental illness through our social clubs.

Wjcs provides supportive programs located in Community facilities throughout the county. This includes after school programs for elementary school children, programs in the middle and high schools targeted for "at risk" youth, and Services for parenting and pregnant teenagers that focus on achieving a high school diploma while addressing a myriad of emotional and psycho-social neeeds including fostering good parenting skills. Wjcs also promotes early literacy programs and Services for parents and pre- school children.
