Adult Services
PROGRAMS
Whether one is experiencing feelings of depression or anxiety, having problems at work or with relationships, or facing challenges in caring for an older adult, JFS provides support, compassion, and solutions. Through the expertise of our staff, individuals and families are able to develop a plan to address serious and complex human needs. JFS also helps with issues related to living with chronic and acute medical problems, food insecurity, and emergency financial problems. The agency provides case management and counseling services and links individuals with appropriate services.
Clinical Social Work
Social Work Services are provided by a Masters-prepared Licensed Clinical Social Worker. We offer therapy, supportive counseling, and case management services for older adults and their families. JFS believes no one should go without care. A free consultation is offered and a sliding scale is available. The agency can accept some Medicare plans. Confidentiality is strictly maintained.
