Special Trips

Periodically, we take the children on trips or provide special in­house entertainment. These engaging events include skill building and teamwork elements. Trips include skiing, karate workshop, figure skating, exercise and more. These trips are designed to help the children build relationships with their mentors in order to enhance the weekly activities.

Holiday Events

The holidays, when extended families come together, can be especially difficult in single-parent homes. Our Shabbos meals, Yom Tov programs, Chol HaMoed trips, and signature Chanukah and Purim events bring the joy back to these special days.

 

School Advocacy

A parent is a child’s best advocate. Sometimes, the parent is absent or overwhelmed or entangled in a divorce battle, leaving a void. M​y Extended Family​ steps in: our Clinical Director personally works with the schools — resolving issues, following up on reports, and general child/school communication that is a key component of a child’s basic esteem and educational success.

Parenting Workshops

MYEF offers parenting workshops, as well as life coaching sessions to empower parents in their challenging role as single parents. Our parents gain valuable coping skills and a support community with resources to help them.
