JFCS Programs & Services

Below is a brief overview of the programs and services offered by JFCS.

Counseling: Life presents challenges for all of us and occasionally we look outside ourselves and our families for professional assistance in facing those personal challenges. JFCS provides high quality, confidential counseling services to individuals, couples, groups, families and children. More Info.

Parent Coaching: In our complex society parents are often uncertain of how to deal with typical but frustrating parenting situations. The Side-by-Side program of Jewish Family & Child Service offers parents help with such situations through its parent coaching program. The parent coach helps parents identify priorities and make choices based on what is optimal for their own parenting style and unique family system. More Info.
