mental health consultation centers

operation with local public schools,
have been opened in two affiliates

Milton E. Eulau, president. The

in Queens.
Eulau said that the two pro-
grams, designed to serve as many !
as 600 teen-agers on a nonracial,
nonsectarian basis, were conceived
as a joint effort between the Jewish
centers and local schools to bring
a new service to East Flatbush and
Far Rockaway. Both have heavily ,
Jewish populations, but the two Ys
serve both Jews and non-Jews anti
the new mental health centers also
follow that policy.
