Mental Health
JCCM has led the coordination of psychological support services by bringing together key community agencies such as Jewish Care, Hatzolah, and Australian Jewish Psychologists. We have centralised information and access below to minimise obstacles for those seeking help.
Jewish Care Victoria
Jewish Care Victoria is the leading social welfare organisation for the Victorian Jewish community, providing residential and community aged care, disability services, social work support, financial services, housing, and more.
Jewish Care Victoria offers no-cost psychology services for Victorian Jewish community members aged 16 years and over. A Mental Health Care Plan or Medicare eligibility is not required. Community members can access up to 10 psychology sessions, with both telehealth and face-to-face options available. Services are provided by Provisional Psychologists under the supervision of a Senior Clinical Psychologist.
Jewish Care’s mental health education program supports trauma-informed mental health responses across the community. Custom workshops and accredited training are individually tailored for each cohort and facilitated by experienced educators with a deep knowledge and understanding of our community.
Pastoral Support
There is a team of Rabbis and Chaplains with specific training in emergency and crisis response who are available to offer spiritual and pastoral support to anyone affected by the events.
