Upward Community provides a broad range of mental health and support services for youth, families, and schools within the Chicago Jewish community. Its core focus is helping children and teenagers navigate emotional and behavioral challenges by creating a safe and non-judgmental space for growth. The organization offers both direct services and coordinated referrals to ensure individuals receive tailored support based on their specific needs.

Key services include counseling, mentoring, crisis intervention, and school-based programs. Upward Community works closely with parents, educators, and communal professionals to address developmental concerns, mental health issues, and family dynamics. The organization also offers parenting guidance and psychoeducation workshops, helping families better understand and support their children’s emotional development.

In addition to in-house services, Upward Community functions as a referral hub, partnering with local professionals and organizations to create customized care plans. It remains actively involved throughout each case, providing follow-up, advocacy, and long-term guidance. This ongoing connection ensures that families are not only matched with the right resources but also supported throughout the process of healing and development.
