Teens
The mission of the Daniel B. Sobel Friendship House, a division of Friendship Circle, is based on the teachings of Lubavitcher Rebbe of blessed memory. He constantly encouraged us to remember that within each person is a soul, and that that soul is equal and worthy of boundless love. It is his belief that none of us are complete unless all of us are included.
UMatter, built upon this idea, focuses specifically on teens that are struggling. Under the guidance of Rabbi Yarden Blumstein, UMatter operates on a peer-to-peer model of teens helping their peers overcome stigmas and other obstacles related to mental health.
