Pesach Tikvah's Executive Director Yerachmiel Stern, L.C.S.W.
Yerachmiel Stern, L.C.S.W.
Yerachmiel Stern, L.C.S.W. is the Executive Director of Pesach Tikvah. Before being appointed Executive Director, he served for ten years as the Borough Park Clinics Director. In that role, he helped Pesach Tikvah to build up a rich and effective group of resources in all capacities including psychiatry. Directing the Borough Park Clinics was of particular importance to Mr. Stern because he grew up in Borough Park. When he began his tenure as Clinical Director, the Borough Park, Kensington, and Flatbush areas lacked affordable mental health care. He successfully brought excellent, sophisticated mental health care to those underserved neighborhoods. As Pesach Tikvah enters its 42nd year, Mr. Stern is leading Pesach Tikvah's unique work as the preeminent mental health services provider for the Charedi and Chassidic community.
