Mental Health Spotlight

Shining a light on community needs

JFCS is here to help with our introduction of Mental Health Spotlight. Its purpose? To shine a light on areas where all people – children through older adults, including self-identified disabled members of our community – struggle and can seek help.

• • Boosting social skills and navigating group dynamics, guided by professionals
  •  
  • We are here to help you shore up your resiliency against loneliness and isolation 

• • Some of our new workshop-style groups also are curated for those wanting to learn how to help their friends and loved ones through challenging times 

Mental Health Spotlight provides group-session and workshop options in the style of both Community Connection and our grief-processing group, Walking Beside You. 

JFCS’ Mental Health Spotlight is not one-on-one therapy. Rather, you can attend simply to be in community, dabble to see if this format works for you and gain access to JFCS’ robust resources list, all in a safe online space. 

In keeping with JFCS’ focus on inclusion, Mental Health Spotlight also provides access to therapists on a sliding scale, as well as resources one may need outside JFCS’ areas of expertise.

Our ongoing, drop-in 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.

All groups meet on Zoom.
