Jewish Family Service

JFS is a non-sectarian agency founded on the Jewish Principle of Healing the World, wherever in the world you may be. We are passionate about our Coachella Valley! JFS has served the social service needs of Coachella Valley residents for 43 years. We provide over 7,000 services a year in mental health, school counseling, emergency assistance, camp scholarships, and special programming for the Jewish community. If it touches the heart of the valley, it touches the heart of JFS! Become a member of the JFS family by volunteering or donating. Show Your Passion for Our Valley!

We care deeply about our community, and it is incredibly difficult for us to share this news, knowing that many residents are struggling; Due to extensive and increasing requests for case management assistance and our need to ensure the provision of high quality support to existing clients, JFS has temporarily paused new case management client intakes. If you are facing an emergent need, please contact 2-1-1 or connectie.org for information on available resources.

JFS Clinical Groups

JFS offers several clinical groups designed to offer information and support in a safe environment with those who may have experienced similar struggles or whose perspectives may offer unique guidance. Each group is facilitated by the JFS Clinical Team, and participation is covered by most insurances. For those without insurance, JFS offers scholarships making participation in these groups possible.
