JFS: Providing relief for immediate and long-term well-being

“There are different types of people with different needs—no matter who you are or what your circumstances may be.” -David, JFS client 

It’s not usual for life’s challenges to be connected, and that’s why JFS offers comprehensive support that helps people move from crisis to stability and lasting success. When David was going through some personal and professional struggles, he reached out to JFS. Our team responded with solutions that provided immediate support and ongoing services to strengthen his well-being. 

David benefited from counseling services, a nurse practitioner, and employment services. He also participated in our career coaching program, specifically designed for individuals who have lost their jobs in the nonprofit sector. (The program offers one-on-one support with resumes, interview preparation, and personalized career planning.) 

“The act of being supported by a community I have served when I am in a time of need means a lot to me,” said David. “It empowers me to take action and move forward.” Recently, David secured a new job, and he’ll be starting soon, which is exciting. JFS has offered to continue supporting David as he continues to get back to a place of stability. “I want people to know that JFS lives their values. Ultimately, I’m still dealing with things, some chronic, some acute, and I’m grateful for the ongoing support.” 

David plans to continue to give his time and energy when he can to his family and to organizations whose missions are close to his heart. He hopes to have the opportunity to give back to JFS to show his appreciation for the programs and services he continues to receive.
