Response Center

Imagine a place where teens can come and talk freely about their concerns, feelings and pressures. At Response Center, teens are accepted and listened to without judgment. Whether they want to talk one-on-one with an understanding staff member or just hang out, the Response team is here to support adolescents, ages twelve to 21.

Since its' establishment in 1970, the Response Center has been a dedicated advocate of strong youth leadership and preventative education. Serving the diverse needs of teenagers and their families in the Jewish and the general community, staff members instill teens with self-confidence and compassion through education, counseling and medical services and empower adolescents to make healthy life choices.

Response Center is a program of the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Chicago, combining the talents of Jewish Child & Family Services, Jewish Community Centers, Jewish Vocational Service and Mount Sinai Hospital.
