KOL SHALOM PARTNERS WITH JSSA
www.jssa.orgWe are pleased to announce an exciting new partnership between Kol Shalom and JSSA, the Jewish Social Service Agency. In an effort to better serve the synagogue community, JSSA’s Synagogue Liaison program will provide a licensed clinician to Kol Shalom for up to eight hours each month. Our liaison will be able to offer strategies and guidance on a range of issues from caring for aging parents and complicated family dynamics, to challenging transitions and managing stress. She will also facilitate workshops and groups with different populations in the congregation.
Leslie Kessler, LCSW-C, is a licensed clinical social worker who has worked in JSSA’s Aging Department for over 8 years. She provides care management services as well as adult individual and group psychotherapy. She is available to meet at the congregation office or at her office in the JSSA building on Montrose Road.
You can contact Leslie directly by email at lkessler@jssa.org or phone at 301-816-2653 to make an appointment or ask a question. Consultations are free and confidential. She can also be helpful with referrals to JSSA and other community resources, when necessary.
