As Father’s Day approaches, Ohel’s Director of Community Services, Lisa Sheinhouse, reflects on the profound impact her father had on raising her neurodivergent daughter.

In this moving article for Psychology Today, Lisa shares a deeply personal story about family support, resilience, and the vital role that grandparents and other trusted adults can play in the lives of neurodivergent children and their families.

Her reflection is a powerful reminder that when parents feel supported, children thrive.

A meaningful read for parents, caregivers, grandparents, and anyone supporting a neurodivergent child.

We’re still not over the beauty and purpose behind this afternoon. 💐

For many survivors of domestic violence, leaving an abusive situation is only the beginning. Safe housing, emotional support, and community can make all the difference in rebuilding a life.

That’s why gatherings like Ohel’s Women’s Luncheon matter — women coming together to support women with compassion, dignity, and care. 🤍
