Abstract:

The Freda Mohr Center of Jewish Family Service of Los Angeles is a storefront, walk-in counseling service for the elderly. This paper describes the work of the Center and discusses the emphasis placed on responsiveness in program planning. Three specific Center programs are outlined as methods of counseling particularly appropriate for use with many of the "younger elderly" clients who come to family service agencies.
