When you or a loved one is facing a difficult time, it can feel overwhelming to know where to begin. Family or couples therapy can help you build tools, strengthen connections, and navigate life’s challenges together.

Our counselling program at JFS, through the Edmonton Healing Centre, is inclusive and non-denominational, welcoming individuals from all walks of life. We offer individual, group, family, and couples counselling, specializing in areas like anxiety, grief, life transitions, relationship conflicts, abuse, trauma, 2SLGBTQ+ issues, and more.

Sometimes, the most meaningful progress comes from pausing, recharging, and allowing yourself to be cared for.

Asking for help can be hard—it can feel vulnerable or unfamiliar—but we encourage you to take that step. You are not alone, and leaning on others isn’t a sign of weakness; it’s an act of courage and self-care. Let yourself rest, let yourself heal, and let others support you along the way.

As we continue to welcome in the new year, it’s the perfect time to reflect on what living well means to you.

If you’re an older adult living at home and could use a little extra help around the house, Home Support by JFS might be just what you need. Our services include housekeeping, personal care, transportation, and companionship—all designed to help you live safely and comfortably in the place you call home. 💛

Start the year with a little extra care and support—you deserve it.

As we step into a new year, we’re holding space for hope, healing, and fresh beginnings. Happy New Year!

12/31/2025

As we look toward a new year, this is a gentle reminder that setting intentions around your mental health and well-being does not have to mean fixing, optimizing, or becoming a “better” version of yourself. Sometimes it simply means surviving, showing up as you are, and doing the best you can with what you have.

Growth can look like rest. Progress can look like asking for help. And care can look like lowering the bar and offering yourself compassion. Whatever this year brings, your well-being matters, exactly as you are.

As the new year begins, know that we offer a range of supports to walk alongside you, including home care, and counselling and grief support via the Edmonton Healing Centre, so you do not have to navigate what comes next on your own.

A gentle holiday check-in 🤍

As the year winds down, take a moment to pause and ask yourself how you’re really feeling. The holidays can bring joy and connection, but they can also be heavy, overwhelming, or lonely for many people. If you’re not feeling your best, please know that this is common and completely valid.

One question to sit with today: What is giving you energy this holiday season?
It might be something small, a person, a routine, a quiet moment, or simply getting through the day.

And if you’re finding that things feel harder than expected, you don’t have to carry it alone. Support is available, and our counselling resources are here if you need a safe, supportive space to talk. Taking care of yourself is part of the season too.

12/24/2025

This holiday season, we celebrate the light that connects traditions around the world and reminds us of hope, warmth, and renewal.

May this time bring you moments of peace, rest, and good health, and may you feel surrounded by love from family and chosen family alike, holding space for all the ways people gather, belong, and care for one another.

12/22/2025

On this final day of Hanukkah, we are reflecting with love, gratitude, and optimism. As the festival of lights comes to a close, it also aligns with the winter solstice, a powerful reminder that even in the darkest moments, light endures and returns.

Today, we are holding space. For those celebrating, for those quietly reflecting, and for those who may be healing or hurting during the holidays: you are seen and you are not alone.

The spirit of this season is rooted in care, connection, and looking out for one another. If you or someone you love needs support, please know that resources are available and help is here when you are ready.

May this holiday carry forward warmth, compassion, and hope, for brighter days ahead and a community that continues to care for each other.

12/17/2025

To members of our Jewish community who have been impacted by the horrific events in Australia this weekend: you are not alone.

We are offering no-cost, culturally informed counselling for Jewish community members through our Edmonton Healing Centre therapy services. You do not need to cope in isolation, and meaningful help that truly understands is just a phone call or email away.

If you would like to get started, please reach out to:

Support is here when you’re ready.

Studies show many people still feel deep grief 6–12 months after losing a pet. And the ways we cope — isolation, leaning on others, memorials, faith, or even bonding with other animals — are all valid.

If you’re still hurting, our Pet Loss Support Group is a place where every emotion and every coping style is welcome.

Our Story

What if I’m not Jewish?… We are often asked if we provide services only to Jewish people. Sometimes people wonder if a religious component will be evident when they come for services. The answer to both of these is No. Jewish Family Services is not only for the Jewish Community. In fact, it is a Jewish value to care for the entire community in which we live, as well as to care for those who share our heritage. With the exception of certain programs that are geared for a Jewish clientele, our services are offered to the greater Edmonton community. We are proud to welcome all without discrimination for age, ethnicity, gender, national origin, disability, race, size, religion or beliefs, sexual orientation or identification, or socio-economic background. Good human service practice responds to the whole person, which includes attending to the person’s spirit when appropriate. However, good practice also means that professionals respect the belief systems of their clients, and share their own with care and caution.
