Celebrate May -
Mental Heath Awareness Month!
Processing the trauma caused by COVID-19 is bringing increased awareness to the importance of mental health care. In the past year, JFS has seen a 50 percent increase in the number of counseling sessions. We have responded by providing more resources and information with a focus on preventive initiatives.
During May - Mental Health Awareness Month - we will be celebrating each week by distributing wellness videos and articles and hosting community discussions. Check out our schedule of events at Mental Heath Awareness Month and find resources at our new wellness video library: Well Focused.
