Jewish Family Services
Mission
JFS’ mission is to provide supportive services that will strengthen families, children and individuals throughout the life cycle within the context of their unique needs and traditions.
Aligned Work
Jewish Family Services (JFS) provides school-based mental wellness services to address all three tiers of the continuum of supports including mental health promotion, early intervention, and treatment services. JFS therapists utilize Evidence-Based Practices in classroom group activities based on participating teachers’ identification of the needs of their classes to proactively build support, resiliency, and mental wellness. Parents are consulted regularly, and when appropriate, are invited to participate in family-based sessions at JFS’s outpatient clinics. (Teen Mental Wellness: Empowering Minds)
Jewish Family Services’ (JFS) Outpatient Mental Health Clinic is State licensed to provide psychotherapy and counseling services for children, families, adults, and seniors. (Mental Health Improvement Fund).
