Nesivos
Youth Mental Health Support
Lakewood, NJ, USA
Nesivos Pathways, located in Lakewood, New Jersey, serves as a comprehensive support center for youth and families navigating emotional, behavioral, and social challenges. Established in 2008, it was founded to address the increasing need for structured mental health services within the frum community. The organization offers a range of services including intake assessments, personalized treatment plans, and case management, all tailored to the unique circumstances of each client. Their approach emphasizes collaboration among professionals, families, and community institutions to foster a therapeutic environment conducive to healing and growth.
A cornerstone of Nesivos' offerings is its mentorship program, designed to provide teens with positive role models who guide them in making responsible choices and developing essential life skills. Mentors meet weekly with clients in settings comfortable for the youth, such as schools or community centers, ensuring consistent support. Additionally, Nesivos facilitates job placement services, recognizing the importance of structured daily activities in aiding teens who have faced academic challenges. By connecting youth with employment opportunities, they aim to instill a sense of purpose and responsibility.
Understanding the pivotal role of family in a youth's development, Nesivos offers parent support groups. These groups provide a safe space for parents to connect, share experiences, and gain insights into supporting their children effectively. Furthermore, the organization actively intervenes in the community by coordinating service delivery, training mentors, and collaborating with schools and other organizations to ensure that no youth falls through the cracks.
