Jewish Marriage Council relaunches as JCounselling
Decision made to enable community to have fuller understanding of scope of charity's work
A Hendon-based Jewish relationship support charity has changed its name to enable the community to better understand the nature of its work.
The organisation previously known as the JMC (Jewish Marriage Council) will now be known as JCounselling.
Having long been dedicated to enabling and empowering families to overcome their relationship challenges, the charity realised there were many in the community in need of their support but were unaware that the JMC, as it then was, was best placed to help them.
Mark Dembovsky, chairman said: “So often people would say to me that our name made them think that we only provided counselling for couples with marriage issues which just isn’t the case. There are so many reasons why a family might need relationship counselling to help them overcome the challenges that life throws at all of us. That is why we have taken the decision to change our name to JCounselling to better reflect the nature and scope of our work.”
Support work includes counselling individuals, couples and families grappling with contemporary issues such as addiction (drug, internet, gambling and pornography), abuse (physical, sexual and emotional), mental health issues, communication issues and the inability of so many people to form and maintain stable relationships.
