About 0.5% of Australians are homeless. This causes many difficulties for the individuals as well as the community at large. At Jewish House, we provide 24/7 Crisis Support to children, women & men of all denominations in need. Our purpose is to assist people in their time of crisis with immediate intervention, crisis accommodation, Rapid Rehousing and various counseling and referral services. Beyond the short term period of crisis intervention our strategy is to use pragmatic and innovative programs to prevent further crises and to facilitate the transition and integration of our clients into the community to lead satisfying lives. Jewish House has also recently launched JH Kids, we work with children aged 4 to 12 preparing for or attending primary school and who are experiencing challenges in learning, well-being, social-emotional or behavioral development. JH Kids believes that it takes a village to raise a child, and so we work with everyone in the child’s ‘village.’ Our professional team uses a holistic approach that identifies the child’s strengths and builds capabilities in parents, siblings and other supporters (schools, grandparents, teachers). This technique of exploring the child’s strengths and building adult capabilities extends the benefits of the skills the child learns. A core theme of our program is to build skills intensely in the beginning, to help a child manage adversity later.
