Youth and School-Based Services

School-based Services

Our social workers are based at Jewish day schools across metro Detroit. They are available to work with students one-on-one or in groups, depending on the individual social and emotional needs of the students. They engage parents and families as needed and make referrals for outside counseling and other services. Social workers also work with school administrators and teachers to build school-wide curriculum and classroom lesson plans in order to build the social-emotional culture of the school. Meet our school-based social work staff here.

Our social workers are based at several community Jewish Schools including:

  • Beis Chaya Mushka High School
  • BBYO
  • Frankel Jewish Academy
  • Lubavitch Cheder
  • Yeshiva Beth Yehudah
  • Yeshivas Darchei Torah
