Why would you go for counselling?

Everyone goes through difficult stages in their life. These may be associated with an event happening in your environment or an important developmental stage in your life. Frequently you can handle this yourself by finding a parent, friend or mentor who can help you. This is not always possible. Sometimes the problems are too serious and make you falter. In this case extra support is needed. KESHET is a counselling service in the Jewish community and has extensive experience with guiding kids, teenagers and young adults between the ages of 6 and 26, with social-emotional problems. This refers to both issues you may have with yourself, or with your environment. In the next part you can read about ‘red flags’. These are signs that tell you that you need extra help from someone with experience.
