“At Lifeskills, we have a thriving Jewish community with unique needs, so we developed dedicated mental health treatment support for that community. We recognize that for an individual to be successful in recovery, they need to feel understood and welcomed, which is why we’re proud to have a clinically excellent treatment team with expertise in this area. I’m grateful every day that I can practice my faith in my profession while helping others in need.”
