JFS adopts a holistic approach to mental health by incorporating emotional and psychological well-being throughout our programs, rather than confining it to a single service area.
Key programs, such as Supportive Living Services, Project DVORA, and Older Adult Services, provide integrated, person-centered support. Additionally, JFS offers a variety of resources that promote mental health, including parent coaching, educational workshops, and support groups designed to foster connection, empowerment, and resilience.
Our Parent Navigation Coach offers personalized guidance, emotional support, and practical tools to help you and your family thrive. Email Becky Goldman at rgoldman@jfsseattle.org or call (206) 726-3604.
Our domestic violence support groups are facilitated by advocates and provide a space where you can learn more about domestic violence, learn coping strategies for trauma, and connect with others who may have had similar experiences. Support groups can help you feel less isolated and alone in your journey.
Our Project DVORA Outreach & Education Coordinator helps Jewish community organizations with domestic violence education, intervention, and prevention, and leads workshops on healthy teen relationships. Email Rebecca Mather at rmather@jfsseattle.org or call 206-861-3153.
Rabbi Ronit Tsadok, Director of Project Kavod at JFS, leads community programming for Jewish adults, emerging support groups for LGBTQ+ Jewish teens, and other offerings to support the mental health of our Jewish community. Email R'Ronit at rtsadok@jfsseattle.org or call 206-726-3624.
We also partner with Jewish organizations on workshops. For example, in December 2025 and January 2026, we partnered with Temple Beth Am on a series for coping with antisemitism facilitated by clinical psychologist Steve Katz.
