Support Groups
JFCS offers a wide range of support groups that allow those facing challenges to come together and heal through shared experience. Support groups provide a safe and comforting space to build community, find connection with others, and form a more supportive network. All of JFCS’ group facilitators are trained in trauma-informed care.
