Mental Health Education

JFS is forging a new path for providing mental health support to our community. We know how important it is to offer mental health education and resources to our Jewish communities; and to the broader community as we are able.

Mental Health Projects

We have launched and implemented several mental health projects throughout our programs.

Community Needs Assessment

The JFS Community Needs Assessment is helping us understand the unmet and under-met social service needs of our diverse Jewish communities—including mental health needs. The insights we are gathering will directly inform how we shape and strengthen our mental health offerings to better meet the needs of our Jewish communities.
