About this organization
Mission
Founded in 1943, the mission of WJCS, a not-for-profit organization, is to provide care to people of all ages and backgrounds who are confronting significant challenges relating to mental health, trauma, disabilities, youth, and geriatric services. WJCS’ highly trained staff serve more than 20,000 Westchester County residents each year through approximately 88+ programs. Through private funding and support from UJA-Federation of New York, WJCS also meets the diverse needs of the Westchester Jewish community, providing educational and spiritual programming in Jewish day schools, nursery schools, and synagogues.
About
Using evidenced based practice, WJCS provides outpatient mental health services through four free standing clinics that are located throughout 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.
