NISSA

Nissa supports Jewish school-aged children and their families
across the Greater Chicago area who are navigating emotional and
behavioral challenges that impact life at home, in school, and in their
daily experiences.
Through compassionate, wraparound support, Nissa works closely
with families, schools, and trusted community professionals—including
rabbis, physicians, and therapists—to better understand each child’s
unique needs and strengths and to develop individualized plans that
support each child and family. We also work to build capacity within
families, schools, and the community to better support the child’s
needs.
Services include the Nissa Assessment Pad (NAP)—a three-week,
full-day program designed to better understand the root causes
of a child’s challenges and provide thoughtful short- and long-
term recommendations—as well as family support groups, case
management, professional development, and school consultation.
