We are JCCA
We help abused, neglected and traumatized children heal physically and emotionally through compassionate, quality care. Our 37 programs include foster care, residential treatment facilities, mental health services, case management, education programs and special services for children who have been the victims of sexual abuse. We serve New York’s neediest and most vulnerable children and families to insure that their safety, permanency and well-being leads to a life of stability and promise.
Message From CEO Ronald E. Richter to JCCA Staff
Rosh Hashana
CEO Ronald E. Richter writes, “Much like the vivid colors of changing leaves and the crisp air signaling winter ahead, the sound of the shofar is both somber and triumphant. This balance is echoed in our work here at JCCA. The introspection and commitment of Rosh Hashanah are reflected in the transformative work we do with children and families to develop the insight and skills they need to move forward. Our trauma-sensitive practice echoes Yom Kippur’s focus on forgiveness. Building on their strengths, we empower our clients with the tools to become stronger and more hopeful.”
