Jewish Family Service of Greater New Orleans

Jewish Family Service of Greater New Orleans (JFS) is a social service agency serving people of all faiths. We are dedicated to preserving, strengthening, and enhancing the well-being and self-sufficiency of individuals and families at every stage of life. JFS serves people in the Greater New Orleans area regardless of race, religion, disability, gender, or sexual orientation.

Jewish Family Service is a "whole person environment." We help the community by strengthening families and individuals to reach their full potential through various programs and services. These include individual and group counseling, educating our young people about depression and suicide prevention, promoting independence for the elderly, providing case management, and assisting survivors of human trafficking. Last year, JFS assisted approximately 5,500 people in the Greater New Orleans area with dignity and compassion - as we have for over 70 years.

Testimonials

"My life is good from the outside, but I felt like I was drowning. I wasn't myself. I forced every smile and laugh. I was embarrassed to ask for help because nothing happened to me. I'm so glad I made an appointment at JFS. My therapist helped me understand what I was feeling and that counseling is for everyone. I finally feel like myself again!"
