JOIN US

We welcome you to attend our Counseling program’s ongoing,
drop-in support groups:

Community Connection

Join JFCS for weekly conversations on Zoom: It is a space for anyone in the community to connect with others and share what’s on their mind.

Grief Connection

Grief affects every part of our lives and can be a lonely road to travel. Join us for our monthly grief-processing group for adults. In our virtual sessions, we will have the opportunity to share our own experiences with grief, connect with others, and learn strategies for moving through loss. Click here to learn more.

Cancer Support Group

Community is important. Cancer is lonely. Jewish Family & Child Service has combined these two truths to create this support group open to anyone with a cancer diagnosis. Click here to learn more.

Disability Mental Health Spotlight

Join our Counseling and Disability Support Services programs for an ongoing series of mental health groups for members of the disabled community. We will be discussing strategies for coping with anxiety.

All groups meet on Zoom.

We’re teaming up with Eastside Jewish Commons for a really fun and sweet (I’m looking at you apples & honey!) Rosh Hashanah gathering at the EJC. We’ll have an afternoon of crafts, movement and reflection, all to get in the holiday’s spirit of community and reflection.

Mark your calendars for Sunday, Oct 2, 1-3 pm, and RSVP here.

JFCS is celebrating its 75th year and we’re seeking stories about how we’ve helped you, a friend, or loved one over the years. If you’d like to participate, please email us. Or click here to learn more.
