Q: Who gets help from JFS Israel?
A: Our clients include many English speakers who
have grown accustomed to high quality and specialized therapy
services for various needs for each member of the family.
We have clinicians availabe to provide all
traditional social work services, and we also offer psychological
testing and treatment through our licensed psychologists. We utilize
consulting psychiatrists as needed, along with family doctors as
well. Finally, our counseling and therapy clinicians (and
interns)are highly trained and empathetic people.
Q: Do you work only with clients who are English speakers?
A: We work with Hebrew speaking families also, and
most of our clinicians are at least bi-lingual.
We have found that the Anglo public in Israel is
comfortable with psychological services, and they may find obtaining
these services to be more a treasure than a stigma. Israeli's,
traditionally are more accustomed to other supports through
difficult times, and perhaps it is for this reason that our client
load reflects a heavier percentage of Anglos. Commonly we are asked
to provide seervices to bi-lingual families.
