The Branch Is A Community For All.
While our organization is proudly centered on Jewish values, integrating and celebrating Jewish traditions in our programs, we welcome with open arms and hearts people of all backgrounds and identities needing our support.
How we help:
Intellectual, developmental, or psychiatric disabilities can make it challenging for an individual to live fully and independently. With our support, they thrive. The following is an overview of the compelling people we proudly serve.
Adults Living With Mental Illness
The Branch offers an accredited Clubhouse program for adults (age 18+) living with a mental health diagnosis such as major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, schizoaffective disorder, or schizophrenia.

Individualized support at home to identify barriers and find ways to overcome them
