The Jewish Children's Support Centre

The Jewish Children's Support Centre is a not-for-profit community organization established in Australia to support families and children in need. Founded by Rabbi Yaakov Lieder, the centre is part of a broader effort to address family and child welfare issues within the Jewish community.

Mission and Activities

The centre focuses on providing essential services such as conflict resolution between children and parents, coaching on parenting management skills, and support for children with learning difficulties[4]. By offering these services, the centre aims to enhance family relationships and provide children with a stable and supportive environment.

Leadership

Rabbi Yaakov Lieder, who also established the Jewish Family Centre, is the director of the Jewish Children's Support Centre. He has extensive experience in education and has been involved in various educational roles globally for over 28 years[5].

History

Although specific details on the exact founding year are mixed, with some sources indicating a founding year around the early 2000s similar to the Jewish Family Centre[2], Rabbi Lieder has been involved in supporting family welfare programs since the mid-1990s[5].

Affiliations

The centre is affiliated with the Jewish Family Centre, which provides comprehensive support services for families in crisis across Victoria and New South Wales[2].

Impact

The organization contributes to the well-being of families by addressing relationship issues and educating parents on effective management techniques. This proactive approach helps stabilize family dynamics, benefiting both children and their guardians[4].

Notable Figures

Rabbi Lieder's unique perspective on family dynamics, shaped by his own experiences as a father of fourteen children, informs the centre's mission and approach to family care[5].
