Before you use these resources
In an emergency, call your local emergency number (911 in the U.S.) or your community Hatzalah.
These organizations are independent and are not operated by or formally affiliated with JMAR or the Jewish Physicians Network. We list them for educational and informational purposes. Coverage areas vary — some serve one city or hospital, others operate nationally or in Israel — so confirm scope and availability directly with each organization.
A family may need a culturally sensitive referral, crisis support, case management, or help understanding which kind of clinician is appropriate.
These organizations help Jewish individuals and families find mental-health support, referrals, crisis intervention, and broader social services. If there is immediate danger to self or others, call emergency services or a local crisis line immediately.
