From the Director
Now that the Fall Jewish holidays are behind us, we can settle in and focus on delivering the many programs and services JFS offers.
One service I want to call to your attention is our counseling program. Our skilled and talented therapist, Deborah Frisco, MSW, LCSW, continues to see clients who are in need of support around depression, anxiety, relationship issues, caregiver issues, and a myriad of other concerns. We offer confidential and sliding scale services. As the days grow shorter and the next set of holidays approach, you may find yourself feeling additional stress—please know that JFS can help support you through such times and help you find your inner resources and strengths to ease the way.
Hoping the fall days ahead are good ones for you and our family.
Betsy Gamburg
Director, Jewish Family Services
