New ‘Kids in the Middle’ sessions to start at JFS | Wisconsin Jewish Chronicle

New ‘Kids in the Middle’ sessions to start at JFS

          The seven-week fall session of “Kids In The Middle” (KITM) will begin at 6 p.m. on Mondays from Sept. 22-Nov. 3 at Jewish Family Services’ downtown location, 1300 N. Jackson St., Milwaukee.

          KITM specializes in group and individual counseling for youth (ages 5-16) coping with family transitions — such as separation or divorce — where kids have the potential to be caught in the middle.

          In the sessions, kids will use discussion, therapeutic games, books, art and play therapy to help them learn to identify, understand and appropriately express their feelings.

          KITM is free and open to the entire community, regardless of faith, ethnicity, income or lifestyle. A pre-registration phone interview is required. To schedule an interview or consultation, contact KITM intake coordinator, Dawn Giorno, APSW, MSW, 414-225-1363.
