Unfortunately, We Can’t
Change the Diagnosis.

The pain is real. It’s not an occasional bad day here and another bad day there. It’s consistent, deep, heart-wrenching pain where getting up in the morning is a fight, and smiling feels so fake, it hurts. Where the anxiety, sadness, or hopelessness clouds every thought and moment, making even small tasks feel insurmountable.

But We Can Change
Your Journey.

Chazkeinu is here to be your safe space, a place where your struggles are understood and we’re all in it together. Professional tips and good-old camaraderie reign free; stigma and isolation are completely absent as we strengthen your journey to mental and emotional wellbeing. Every woman coping with mental illness and emotional pain deserves the empathy, empowerment, and encouragement that Chazkeinu provides.

Rabbanim, Therapists, and
Chazkeinu Sisters Speak

“Women being helped in this organization have better, healthier, and more productive lives so that they could be there for others in Klal Yisroel.”

HaRav Elya Brudny, Shlita,
Rosh Yeshiva Mir Brooklyn

The power of connection, communication, and being together can be an amazing source of resilience. Chazkeinu gives hope and literally saves lives.”

Dr. David Pelcovitz, Ph.D

“I have no words. I feel at home whenever I meet another Chazkeinu member, wherever it may be. The members truly care and are always there to support one another through challenges. I've never met anyone like them. The leaders also genuinely care, always ready to help with any issue or need.”

I gain a tremendous amount of support and chizuk from Chazkeinu. The new chiyus inside me spills over to help my husband, kids, extended family, and neighbors. The world is a better place because of you, so THANK YOU!”

I have never seen so much support, understanding, and togetherness in one place like I experienced on Tuesday. Meeting so many people and feeling the caring, understanding and non-judgemental atmosphere impacted my life in a very big way.”

There’s nothing like the Chazkeinu atmosphere. The freedom to be. The acceptance. It’s another planet.”

“I feel invigorated with renewed energy. I came back from the retreat like a different person. It was fantastic and so relaxing. The venue, food, wonderful programs, games, concert, yoga, swimming, meditation, and more were great.”

“I LOVE getting these emails every day. It's so exciting to come home to.“

I love having a place to share all my intense stuff. Knowing that other people will appreciate it and feel supported makes my pain meaningful and so much easier to bear.”

“It’s been five years since I joined, and I can honestly say that Chazkeinu gets the credit for the fact that my husband is still in Kollel, my kids are happy and well adjusted, and I can live a meaningful and productive life as I work on healing the many childhood traumas and resulting PTSD, depression, and anxiety.”

“Although I'm taking medication and have an excellent therapist, Chazkeinu has been a lifeline for me. Unfortunately, I have no support, and my loved ones do not recognize that this is a real illness. When I join the Chazkeinu meetings, I literally come up for air there. I am in a safe place where I am understood, validated, not judged, and loved just because. I've been encouraged and now believe that mental illness does not define me.”

“Thank you so much for the daily emails; they literally keep me going, and I look forward to receiving them each day.”

“Chazkeinu is a life-saving organization fostering much-needed connection and belonging.”

“It’s a lifeline. It’s an otherworldly experience for members to experience that which many people take for granted: the serenity of being accepted and understood.”

“I want to share how much I loved the Shabbaton - it was the first time in forty years that I felt truly appreciated for showing up. Everything was amazing - the food, the art activities, the workshops, the therapists, the Divrei Torah, and the deep discussions. I’ve never experienced such a profound level of chessed, and this Shabbos opened the door to a much deeper healing for me.”

"Empowered Hotline is my go-to resource between therapy sessions. Expert LCSWs provide objective guidance, support, and valuable insights for life's unexpected moments."

You are such a huge support in my life and give me hope for the future.”

“It is the only place and time in my life that I didn't have to pretend all is great.”

“Chazkeinu is where I’ve gained the power to turn my scars into stars.”

“The true friendships, support, and love I received from Chazkeinu is beyond words.”

“Chazkeinu is my safe space, where I feel happy, connected, and loved.”

“The support meetings give me strength and valuable information I didn’t have before. The feeling of not being alone is priceless.”

“Chazkeinu has saved my life by giving me a peer support system that helps me feel understood by women going through similar struggles.”

“It’s been a long time since I felt free to be ME! Such a warm, nonjudgmental space.”

"I have seen firsthand how Chazkeinu literally saves lives."

Rabbi Yisroel Grossberg,
Chazkeinu Rabbinical Advisor

"Chazkeinu is a hidden gem. Their programs and peer support are changing lives daily. I can personally attest to this."

Rabbi Ron Yitzchok Eisenman

“When a person is in emotional pain, what exacerbates that pain is the feeling of isolation, not being understood, loneliness. An organization like Chazkeinu alleviates that pain by helping each member not feel alone.”

Dr. David Lieberman, PhD.

"As a therapist, I see firsthand the valuable support that Chazkeinu provides and how impactful this organization is for so many."

Rena Blatt, LCSW

“Chazkeinu filled a void in the frum community and then went above and beyond. When a Frum woman feels alone and helpless, Chazkeinu is there to hold her hand and fill her days with inspiration, information, AND fun! Chazkeinu provides a confidential environment for women and girls to feel comfortable and safe, with an atmosphere that is upbeat and helpful!”

Goldie Schechter, MA, LPC
