Help For Children
Teachers Learn
With Mental Illness At Israel Forum

K

adima, a mental health agency in Southfield,
announces the opening of its Child and Adolescent
Program, serving children and adolescents diag-
nosed with serious emotional and behavioral disorders.
This program addresses an unmet, compelling commu-
nity need for kids and family members. Services include a
comprehensive diagnostic analysis and outpatient thera-
peutic services — for example, case advocacy, crisis inter-
vention, age-appropriate treatment groups, individual and
family therapy, social and recreational activities and respite.
After 25 years of serving adults with chronic and severe
mental illness, Kadima explored the viability of opening
a Child and Adolescent Program. Before seeking grants,
it surveyed 200 child psychiatrists in the tri-county area
and learned that, of the respondents, 87 percent indicated
a critical and unmet need to refer children and their fam-
ily members to a program that would serve children who
present with serious emotional and behavioral disorders.
Kadima received two startup grants. It opened its Child
and Adolescent Program in January. Funding from the
grants allow Kadima to provide affordable, based-on-the-
ability-to-pay services. For information on Kadima's services
for children and adolescents, visit www.kadimacenter.org . ❑

F

our teachers from Metro Detroit Jewish day schools
took part in a Pardes Institute of Jewish Studies
summer curriculum workshop in Israel. They were
Stephen Belsky of Akiva Hebrew Day School in Southfield,
Reuven Margrett and Aron Wolgel of Franklin Jewish
Academy in West Bloomfield and Ariel Wolgel of Hillel Day
School in Farmington Hills. Some 31 Thirty-one partici-
pants, all in their first five years of teaching Judaic studies,
spent mornings preparing new curricular units under the
guidance of educators from North America and Israel.
Afternoons included classroom-oriented workshops.
The program was enhanced by text study workshops and
touring of sites associated with Judaic texts.
"The more support teachers are given increases the chances
that they will remain in the field',' said Dr. Susan Wall, director
of the Pardes Educators Alumni Support Project.
Hillel's Ariel Wolgel said the program gave her a chance to
look at the big picture of what she's teaching this upcoming
school year. "It also gave me the opportunity to learn and
reflect on my experience and take it to the next lever,' she said.
The program, in its seventh year, is funded by a grant
from Michigan-based Mandell L. and Madeleine H. Berman
Foundation and San Francisco-based Jim Joseph Foundation.

"Israel is purposely destroying the building blocks of a potential peace agreement just as
the Palestinian Authority is finally being led by a pragmatic, Western-oriented leader
committed to a two-state solution."
