Organization Details

JBFCS, one of the nation's premier mental health and social service agencies, offers a diverse network of more than 185 community-based programs, residential facilities, and day treatment centers.

Our programs reach more than 65,000 people of all religious, ethnic, and economic backgrounds each year at sites throughout New York City and Westchester and through extensive training, consultation, and information dissemination.

JBFCS is committed to enhancing and maintaining the mental health and social functioning of individuals, families, and targeted groups, both in the Jewish community and the broader community.

Towards that end, it provides the following: 1. Treatment of children, families, and adults with a wide variety of problems, from the chronically mentally ill or severely developmentally disabled to normally-functioning people struggling with the ordinary stresses of life.

2. Social services to relieve problems, whether acute or chronic, that have a debilitating effect on individuals and families. 3. Early intervention services and education to strengthen family life, prevent family or individual breakdown, and identify problems in their early stages.

We place special emphasis on mental health consultation in community settings; early childhood programs that engage families in learning about child development; and strengthening Jewish individual and family networks. 4. Advocacy for individual clients to assist them in receiving the services and benefits they need.

5. System-wide advocacy for legislation and funding to support human services programs.
