New “OHEL Access” Centralizes Inquiry to All OHEL Services

To better serve the community, OHEL Children’s Home and Family Services has launched OHEL Access which provides improved accessibility, relevant information and immediate help to OHEL’s breadth of services.

This single point of access to all of OHEL’s services includes  Always on Call 1-800-603-OHEL, Live Help Online: www.ohelfamily.org and Confidential Response:  access@ohelfamily.org

Marc Katz, Director of OHEL Access says “People in need are very often confronted by the unknown of where, what and how and seek answers and assistance, and OHEL Access provides access and information to the most appropriate services they need, in a much timelier manner.”

Whether an everyday adolescent or parenting issue, an urgent crises or trauma, an eldercare need, or after school programs for a child with a disability, OHEL Access is staffed by professionals of diverse expertise who can address the need of any inquiry.

The different points of inquiry of OHEL Access cater to every person’s accessibility and comfort level and through OHEL Access Live Help on OHEL’s new website, users can interface anonymously, immediately and in real-time with an OHEL professional – all through the privacy of their computer at home or a mobile device on the go.

While OHEL is a vast organization serving thousands everyday through OHEL Mental Health, OHEL Bais Ezra, OHEL Foster Care, OHEL Lifetime Care, OHEL Institute of Training,  Camp Kaylie at OHEL and Etta at OHEL, OHEL Access now provides the community with one point of entry to every OHEL service available.

Since 1969, OHEL Children’s Home and Family Services has served as a dependable haven of individual and family support, helping people of all ages surmount everyday challenges, heal from trauma, and manage with strength and dignity during times of crises. Driven by service excellence, OHEL’s professional staff meet the myriad social service needs of the general community, while at the same time providing culturally-sensitive services to the Jewish community, including Yiddish, Hebrew and Russian speakers. Through highly-rated foster care, developmental disability, mental health, and other programs and services, OHEL provides supportive housing, treatment, care coordination, education, outreach and much more to elevate lives and strengthen individuals and communities in New York City, Long Island, New Jersey, Florida, California and worldwide on the web.
