For , we chatted with Global Edmonton about how we're expanding our Edmonton Healing Centre program to provide mental health support to more people in Edmonton.
With our nonprofit impact model, for each person who comes in for non-subsidized therapy (through benefits or their own capacity to pay), we’re able to replicate and amplify that impact by offering free counselling to someone else in need.

Did you know that of our 400 clients, 80% of them receive no-cost or low-cost therapy? Imagine the impact as we grow this program! Taking the first step in your healing journey can create a ripple effect for the whole community.
You can learn more about the Edmonton Healing Centre at the link in our bio, or by getting in touch with us at info@jfse.org

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.
