At JFCS East Bay, our Children, Youth, and Families department is committed to making a profound impact on the well-being of families across the greater East Bay community. Our mission is to provide comprehensive mental health support that fosters resilience, strengthens relationships, and enhances the quality of life for those we serve.
In a recent conversation with a parent, we were moved to hear the positive impact our services have had on their family. The mother expressed that having access to weekly support for her child has been a “blessing” and has significantly improved their lives. Stories like these underscore the vital role our department plays in offering life-changing support to families in need.
Our impact extends beyond individual families. Through our early childhood mental health consultation work, we have been able to support entire pre-school communities. Principals and staff consistently share how our involvement has enriched the overall well-being of their schools, creating a healthier and more supportive environment for young learners. For more information on student well-being in California schools, here’s a helpful resource.
We are excited about the future as we work on expanding the range of ages we serve. Additionally, we are fostering greater collaboration across departments within JFCS East Bay. By partnering with programs like Refugee Services, we aim to offer comprehensive care that addresses the diverse needs of our clients.
Our success is driven by the strength of our community. We welcome the opportunity to connect with colleagues across JFCS East Bay, as these connections often lead to new insights and collaborations. Together, we can continue to identify ways to enhance our services and reach even more families in our community. Your support is invaluable as we work toward our shared goal of building a stronger, healthier East Bay for all.
