Guidance, Connection, and Support When You Need It Most
At Gesher, we understand the unique challenges Orthodox Jewish families face during mental health crises. Our mission is to bridge the gap by connecting families with culturally sensitive, expert support tailored to their specific needs. From personalized case management to community collaboration, our services are designed to ensure no one has to navigate these challenges alone.
Case Management and Comprehensive Support
At Gesher, we provide personalized case management, offering continuous guidance and hands-on support throughout the mental health journey. Our dedicated case managers work closely with clients to ensure they are navigating their challenges effectively and accessing the necessary resources. This includes:
Ongoing Guidance
Case managers serve as a consistent point of contact, offering regular check-ins and advice. They help clients make informed decisions about their treatment and recovery, ensuring that no one has to face their struggles alone.
Medication Management
For clients who are prescribed medication by a psychiatrist, Gesher plays an active role in managing and monitoring their treatment plan. We work alongside mental health professionals to ensure that medication is taken as prescribed, track its effects, and address any concerns or side effects. Our team is there to ensure the treatment is as effective as possible, providing both the client and their family with the necessary support and guidance.
Support Every Step of the Way
From initial assessment to ongoing care, our case managers help clients and their families understand the treatment process, connect with appropriate professionals, and offer emotional support throughout. We bridge the gap between clients and the services they need, helping them stay on track with their mental health goals.
Coordinating Care
In addition to medication management, case managers facilitate communication between different healthcare providers, ensuring a coordinated and seamless approach to treatment. Whether it's scheduling appointments, arranging for therapies, or collaborating with psychiatrists, we ensure that every aspect of the client's care is well-organized.
Support for Spouses
When a person is facing a mental health crisis, the spouse is often deeply affected and may struggle with feelings of helplessness, stress, or confusion. At Gesher, we recognize the importance of supporting not only the individual but also their spouse. We offer guidance, emotional support, and practical resources to help spouses manage their own well-being while supporting their partner through the recovery process. Our case managers work closely with spouses, helping them navigate the complexities of their role, communicate effectively, and maintain their own mental and emotional health during challenging times.
