“We are primarily social beings, with a responsibility and dedication for the utmost benefit of our communities. When that is addressed, we can focus on our own goals and individual aspirations.”
~Perspectives of the Lubavitcher Rebbe.
There is something BIG coming to our community.
Are you looking to grow in your understanding of yourself, and your relationships?
Did you notice a change in one of your children?
Perhaps your child is in deep emotional pain and you’re struggling to get them help?
Or maybe there is a student in your class that is suffering and you need some professional
Guidance?
A life of meaning, fulfillment, and health requires clarity, connection, and SUPPORT . We are not meant to go through challenges alone.
Neshamos recognizes that there is a need for support, clarity, and accountability within our community and family structures.
With that in mind Neshamos brings to our community a lineup of professionals who will be greeting us in Crown Heights for consultation on many matters of mental health. Our team has painstakingly tailored a group of professionals; including trauma therapists, coaches, educators, and more; whose focuses range from parenting, relationships, mental health disorders, etc. , to be available to YOU.
This one of a kind opportunity will grant individuals the ability to meet with a professional in a confidential and pre-arranged space for a 45 minute session, free of charge with a 25$ refundable deposit. The deposit will be returned after the session was attended.
Be sure to pencil this next part in.
This initiative will be held from September 11th- 23rd 2022. To schedule a session with a professional, you can reach out to a Neshamos Team member, at 949-338-5651, to set up a time and claim a slot. Calls will be answered 9am – 3pm.
Please note that spots are limited!
