About Ohel Family

Ohel Children’s Home and Family Services was established in 1969 with the mission of providing safe and supportive environments for vulnerable children. Over the years, the organization recognized the growing mental health and addiction challenges faced by individuals and families and expanded its focus to include comprehensive mental health and substance use disorder services.

Ohel’s leadership was driven by a vision of breaking the stigma surrounding mental health and creating accessible care rooted in respect and compassion. Today, Ohel is a trusted name in the community, offering a wide range of culturally sensitive programs that promote healing, resilience, and growth. Their commitment to treating the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—continues to be a cornerstone of their mission.
