Star Icon Program of- Jewish Family Service Association (JFSA)
At JFSA, we believe that work is an integral part of mental health recovery for individuals with disabilities. Work provides structure to the day, social interaction, a sense of purpose and intellectual fulfillment. JFSA offers two programs to help individuals with mental illness and/or intellectual disabilities face the challenges of locating and maintaining employment.
