Journey to Empowerment Support Group

This weekly educational support group is for women who are currently or have experienced abuse in their relationships. Topics covered include Is This Abuse? Power and Control, Culture and Family, and Taking My Power.

Help for Special Populations

The observant Jewish community, with its rich traditions and adherence to Jewish law (Halacha), requires services that respect and incorporate these religious and cultural practices. Our staff include professionals who understand the religious and cultural context of their client’s lives.

Culturally specific services are also provided to immigrants, older adults, and members of the LGBTQ community. JFSA caters to these needs, ensuring that the support provided is not only effective but also aligns with their values and lifestyle.
