Ruth & Norman Rales Jewish Family Services (JFS) recently brought our community together at B'nai Torah Congregation for a powerful morning dedicated to teen mental wellness.

Thank you to best-selling author and speaker Sophie Riegel for empowering our teens with tools to break the stigma, manage anxiety, ADHD, and OCD, and build resilience. A special thank you to our own Andrea Pittell, LCSW & Tzippi Rosen, LCSW for guiding parents through essential communication strategies and recognizing when teens need support.

This impactful, free event for families was made possible by the Bertuch Family Endowment. We are so grateful to everyone who joined the conversation!

If you or someone you love needs help, please call (561) 852-3333 or visit ralesjfs.org for more information.

For a young child navigating heavy emotions, healing often begins long before they have the words to explain.
Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of the Women's Innovation Giving Circle, Ruth & Norman Rales Jewish Family Services (JFS) has transformed how we care for our youngest clients. A heartfelt thank you to Co-Chairs Robin Rubin, Lori Gottsegen, and Melissa Hoffman for their visionary leadership in funding our brand-new play therapy room.
Instead of a traditional office, children now step into a warm sanctuary filled with art, stories, and play. Therapists can meet them right where they are, using creative tools to help kids process fear, sadness, or confusion at their own pace.
"The Women's Innovation Circle support didn't just fund a room; it created a place where children can begin to heal."
Giving Circles at JFS give members the opportunity to collectively decide on how to distribute support exactly when clients need it most. To learn more about Giving Circles, please contact Sharon Schwartz at (561) 852-3377 or email [email protected].
