We’re still not over the beauty and purpose behind this afternoon. 💐
For many survivors of domestic violence, leaving an abusive situation is only the beginning. Safe housing, emotional support, and community can make all the difference in rebuilding a life.
That’s why gatherings like Ohel’s Women’s Luncheon matter — women coming together to support women with compassion, dignity, and care. 🤍

As summer camp begins, staff are supporting more than just fun and routines — they’re supporting the emotional wellbeing of children and teens navigating anxiety, behavioral challenges, social struggles, and more.
Join Dr. Carly Namdar and a panel of experienced mental health professionals and camp clinicians for an important conversation on how camp staff can better support campers while also caring for themselves throughout the summer.
We’ll also introduce Ohel’s Camp Staff Support Helpline — a dedicated resource for guidance, consultation, and support during challenging moments at camp.
Tuesday, June 2 at 8PM • Over Zoom
Ideal for camp directors, counselors, educators, and youth professionals.

The Queens community showed up in a powerful way for the opening of our new Ohel Family Center in Hillcrest.
Joined by Assemblyman Sam Berger, Assemblywoman Nily Rozic 李羅莎, local rabbis, clinicians, and community leaders, we celebrated the expansion of Ohel’s services in Queens and our continued commitment to making compassionate, culturally sensitive care more accessible close to home.
The Ohel Family Center will provide behavioral health services for children and adults, along with day habilitation programming for individuals with developmental disabilities, helping meet a growing need in the community with dignity, expertise, and support.
We’re proud to continue growing alongside the Queens community. 💙
This is advocacy in action.
Our Director of Community Services, Lisa Sheinhouse, recently represented Ohel before the New York State Council, urging greater access to employment and support for individuals with dual diagnoses of developmental disabilities and mental health challenges.
Because everyone deserves the opportunity to live with purpose.
There’s no “right” time to focus on your mental health.
But if stress, worry, or overthinking are taking up more space than you’d like, having someone to talk to can help lighten the load.
📍 Our Tikvah Clinic offers trauma-informed and recovery-oriented care at two convenient locations — Brooklyn and Far Rockaway — and via telehealth, so support is always within reach.
