The holiday season can bring joy, but it can also stir up stress, grief, or loneliness. It’s okay to not feel cheery and joyful all the time.

If this time of year feels heavy, know that you’re not alone. JFS counselors and staff are here to provide support, understanding, and a safe space to talk.

🕯 Take breaks when you need them
💬 Reach out for connection
🧠 Care for your mental health the way you’d care for a loved one’s

This season, give yourself permission to slow down, breathe, and seek support when you need it.

Happy Hanukkah from JFS! 🕎

As we light the first candle, we celebrate the strength, resilience, and hope that shine within our community.

Hanukkah reminds us that even in times of darkness, a single light, like an act of kindness or a moment of compassion, can illuminate the path forward.

From all of us at Jewish Family Service, may your homes be filled with warmth, joy, and light this season.
