Abstract:

The work performed by Jewish Family Service agencies on behalf of children has changed in accordance with changing needs and service modalities, both inside and outside the Jewish community. Promoting wellness needs to be given as much attention as treating pathology, and whenever possible, professionals should work with families, even when the child is the identified patient.
