Respite Programs

Our respite programs are designed to provide calm, structured, and dignified support for individuals and families during the uniquely intense periods surrounding Yomim Tovim, especially Pesach, Shavous and Yom Kippur. Recognizing that Yom Tov can be emotionally, socially, and logistically challenging—particularly for those navigating eating disorders or recovery—we offer thoughtfully planned programming that prioritizes stability, nourishment, and emotional safety. This includes guided meal support, comfortable scheduling, check-ins, and access to trained staff who understand both the clinical and cultural dimensions of the day. At the same time, families are given the space to rest, reset, and experience Yom Tov with reduced pressure, knowing their loved one is supported in a respectful, values-aligned environment. These programs are not meant to replace family or community, but to strengthen them—helping Yom Tov feel manageable, meaningful, and ultimately more peaceful for everyone involved.
