Providing stability and hope in these uncertain times
JFCS’ mission is to improve the quality of life and self-sufficiency of the Jewish and broader communities throughout the Portland metro area in accordance with Jewish values.
We welcome you to attend Counseling’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.

9-8-8. That’s all you have to remember to call The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. Previously a 10-digit code, the 988 Suicide Prevention & Crisis Lifeline now is only three digits. If you or a loved one is experiencing a mental or behavioral health crisis, please do not hesitate to call the Lifeline; it is available 24/7, links to the Veterans Crisis Line, and is here for you without shame or judgment.
