Support When You
Need it Most
Finding qualified mental health providers on your own is a very difficult process:
- What type of mental health professional is needed?
- How do you identify a clinician trained and qualified to address your specific need?
- How do you find a provider who will meet both your clinical needs and personal style?
- How do you evaluate if the clinician is effective at what they say they do?
Story
we care
NAFSHI was founded by Shaya Spigelman, Sruly Baum, Moshe Gross, and Meir Ernst who recognised the critical need for accessible mental health support in for the Jewish community in Australia. They envisioned NAFSHI as a bridge to connect individuals with mental health professionals, ensuring that, just as emergency medical services are available, mental health support is also readily accessible for those in need. Psychiatrist Dr Sam Roberts provides professional oversight of the organization and Leonard Warren is honorary lawyer.
