A huge thank you to the incredible volunteers from Select Health for showing up in such a meaningful way at last week’s Gleeful Choir performance at the Magna Senior Center!

From capturing special moments, to engaging with the audience, and helping everything run smoothly from start to finish—you made a lasting impact on both our performers and attendees.

Because of your support, the day was filled with connection, joy, and music. We’re so grateful to have community partners like you helping bring these moments to life!

This week, JFS is preparing Passover boxes to be distributed to members of our community, helping ensure that holiday traditions can be observed with dignity, connection, and care. Each box includes Passover essentials like grape juice, matzo crackers, matzo meal, soup mix, gefilte fish, and macaroons—small items that help make meaningful celebrations possible.

At its heart, Passover is a celebration of freedom, remembrance, and the resilience of community. We’re honored to support these traditions for the families and individuals we serve.

Your mental health support should grow with you—and now it can. 💙

At JFS, our clinicians continue to offer therapy both in-person and via telehealth, making it easier to access care in the way that works best for you. We’re also excited to share that we’ve expanded our services to support the entire lifespan, now including younger children.

In addition to individual and group counseling, JFS now offers couples and family therapy—helping strengthen relationships and support families through life’s challenges.

We remain committed to affordable, accessible mental health care, offering services through insurance, Medicaid, or private pay with a sliding-scale fee structure.

If you or someone you love could benefit from support, we’re here to help. https://jfsutah.org/get-help/mental-wellness-education/
