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. This group meets many Fridays at 10am on Zoom.
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. This group meets on Zoom the first Friday of every month. Click here to learn more.
Parent Support Group:
Navigating Your Children’s Mental Health Challenges
Join us the first Monday of each month to connect with other parents experiencing similar challenges and to learn more about relevant topics relating to mental health in children and youth. 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. This group meets on Zoom the second Tuesday of every month. Click here to learn more.
