JEWISH FAMILY & CHILDREN’S SERVICES OF SOUTHERN ARIZONA, INC.
2008 ANNUAL REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY
Building a Future
In 2008 JFCS became a leaner but more focused agency, able to serve the
social and behavioral health needs of our community as the country started
to realize the depths of the financial crisis. Last year, JFCS intake staff began to
see greater socio-economic diversity as people previously able to meet their
own needs lost jobs and had to request help from our emergency financial
assistance programs. The Jack J. and Gary I. Sarver Counseling Center also
saw increasing numbers as therapists and counselors worked to help people
cope with the emotional strain of the burgeoning financial crisis.
Not all of our work focused on sustaining families through the financial
crisis. We also promoted children’s health and well being, ensured a life
of independence and dignity for seniors and people with disabilities,
strengthened the lives of adults in our community and engaged the general
community through our education and community service programs.
Our work in 2008 not only points to the dedication and skill of our board and
staff alike, but it also points to an increase in demand for JFCS’ services. As the
year came to a close, it became clear that the economy would hold financial
uncertainty for some time to come. The one thing we can be certain of is that,
as the economy finds its way to recovery, the demand for our services will
increase even as the resources to provide those services decrease.
That’s why your support is so important to us. Of course, our clients need your
generous and continued financial support, but we all need your steadfast
and enthusiastic support of our efforts to make ourselves financially selfsufficient. In this report, you’ll see that in 2008, as in years past, JFCS was
heavily dependent on government grants and contracts. For the future, our
goal is to diversify our funding and work our way towards a financial future
over which we have more control. We are confident that, with your support,
we can build on our 67 years of success. We can build a JFCS so enduring
that it will be able to serve the needs of the Tucson community well into
the future.
Thank you for all you’ve done to support us and our clients in 2008.

MISSION
STATEMENT
Jewish Family & Children’s Service
is a non-profit agency dedicated to
providing social and educational
services to people of all ages, religions
and ethnic origins in Southern
Arizona. Our goals are to strengthen
family life, foster individual selfsufficiency and promote improved
social and economic conditions in the
Jewish and general community. In
devoting ourselves to the achievement
of these goals, we are guided by
the Jewish values of tikkun olam
(repairing the world), tzedakah (just
and charitable deeds)
and chesed (loving kindness).
1
SUSTAINING
FAMILIES IN CRISIS
JFCS helps strengthen the bonds of family by
creating peace and harmony in the home through
our family centered support and counseling
programs. By strengthening the bonds of family
life, we believe we can strengthen the bonds
that hold our community together. Last year we
helped Tucson families through …
Families in Recovery
Succeeding Together (Families FIRST)
JFCS provided case management, counseling and substance-abuse
diversion to support and rebuild families in the Arizona Child
Protective Services system. JFCS collaborated with Our Family and
the Community Partnership of Southern Arizona to serve Tucson
families through this program.
“We just came from Bosnia
and didn’t know who could
help us with paying rent
after my husband lost his job.
Thank you for helping us keep
our home for our baby.”

Gesher: Creating Family Harmony
Gesher provided counseling and support services for divorced,
blended or single-parent Jewish families. The program served as a
bridge to help these families access services and fully participate in
the Jewish community.
Let’s End Abusive Households (LEAH)
LEAH, our domestic violence prevention program for Jewish
individuals and families who have been affected by domestic
abuse, provided intensive therapy and counseling for these families
who might have otherwise suffered in silence. LEAH also provided
education, information and referral, and advocacy for those Jewish
individuals and families who experienced domestic abuse issues.
Teen Parent Mentor Program
The Teen Parent Mentor Program helped keep pregnant and parenting
teens, ages 12 to 21 from spiraling into poverty and depression.
Stable adult mentors provided emotional support and guidance
and modeled healthy parenting skills. New teen mothers learned to
positively manage the challenges of parenthood and gain the skills
necessary for them and their children to thrive.
Refugee Resettlement
JFCS Refugee Resettlement program welcomed to our country
individuals and families from across the globe and helped settle
them in their new homes. Through the program, refugees acquired
housing, transportation, medical care, and assistance in their
dealings with the US State Department. Refugees also received career
counseling and employment placement services.
At JFCS we believe that when we ensure the health and well being
of all children, we ensure the health and well being of our entire
community. Through our family focused programs we help meet
the social and behavioral health needs of our youngest clients,
teens and their families. In 2008 …
Child & Adolescent Traumatic Stress Services (CATSS)
CATSS provided trauma-related treatment and counseling for children and adolescents and
their families, targeting depression, anxiety, externalized and sexualized behaviors, and
feelings of shame and mistrust. As well CATSS taught parents and other primary caregivers
skills to help them help the children in their care. Through its community curriculum,
CATSS trained clinicians in juvenile trauma treatment and trained first responders, schools,
community members and parents in recognizing the signs and symptoms of traumatic stress.
CATSS is a member of the National Child Traumatic Stress Network.
Embracing Challenges, Creating Opportunities (ECCO)
ECCO provided individual, group and family therapy to children ages 13 to 18 who struggle
with substance use and abuse. ECCO increased the capacity of our young clients to identify
and manage the signs of risk that will lead to substance use, and taught them the skills that
will prevent further use.
Project Safe Place
Started in 1998, Project Safe Place drew on resources from throughout the community to heal
girls and young women, ages 8 to 18, who have been sexually, physically and/or emotionally
abused. Project Safe Place also worked with the families of its clients to ensure that the
young women have a safe and supportive environment in which to recover from abuse. JFCS
partnered with volunteer mentors from the community, Southern Arizona Center Against
Sexual Assault, the juvenile and family court systems and Arizona Child Protective Services in
its fight against all forms of child abuse.
PROMOTING
CHILDREN’S HEALTH
& WELL BEING
“After my friend died,
I thought I would never
be myself again. I had many
fears and I was sad. I learned
many techniques in CATSS
[Child & Adolescent Traumatic
Stress Services] to cope with my
fear, and I will always remember
what I learned and teach it
to kids that need help.”

ENSURING INDEPENDENCE
FOR SENIORS AND PEOPLE
WITH DISABILITIES
“Respite services have been a God-sent
blessing for my daughter and me. Due to
respite, we can keep Dad living with us.”
JFCS offers an array of services to help older people and people with disabilities live as vibrantly and independently as possible. We offer counseling,
homemaker services and case management so we can address the needs of all our clients, whether they need minimal or comprehensive assistance.
Often with age comes disability, and JFCS is structured so that our older adult services dovetail with our services for people with physical and
cognitive disabilities of all ages. Our services for people with disabilities include the Irving Greenfield Tucson Loan Chest and several fiduciary
services. Last year, we helped seniors and people with disabilities live a full and meaningful life through the following programs:
Mental and Behavioral Health Services
JFCS provided individual counseling sessions both in the clinical setting and in the home to clients
who are older or who have disabilities. JFCS also offered several support groups for socialization
and therapeutic purposes.
Case Management
JFCS case management services offered a continuum of care for older individuals and people with
developmental disabilities who are substantially limited in their ability to care for themselves.
Case managers assisted clients with everything from procuring medical and other professional
and government services to fulfilling the basic tasks of daily living to enhancing client quality of
life through social activities and well visits. JFCS case managers understand the desires and needs
of clients and their families and work to ensure that those desires and needs are respected.
Respite Services
JFCS provided respite services to families and caregivers who have the responsibility of 24-hour
caregiving for older adults and people with disabilities. Additionally, JFCS created and distributed
a family caregiver resource manual to provide additional guidance and support to those nonprofessionals charged with 24-hour caregiving duties.
Homemaker Services
To ensure that as many people as possible could continue to live with dignity in their own homes,
JFCS offered help with basic housekeeping tasks. This service supported older adults in the Jewish
and broader community with special attention given to Holocaust Survivors.
Holocaust Survivor Program
The Holocaust Survivor Program provided a holistic approach in meeting the needs of Pima
County’s Holocaust Survivor population. Grounded in the belief that care of the body, mind and
spirit are essential for physical and mental well being, the program provided Survivors with
case management, group meetings, counseling, emergency assistance funds, assistance with
Holocaust Claims Conference applications and survivor advocacy. In coordination with Tucson’s
religious and secular communities, the program sought to enhance Survivors’ quality of life,
while helping them maintain their independence, dignity and self-respect. Our philosophy,
when working with Holocaust Survivors is to respect the past while offering new and positive
experiences that will coexist with the old.

“The [Irving Greenfield Tucson] Loan Chest gave me freedom.”
The Irving Greenfield Tucson Loan Chest
The Irving Greenfield Tucson Loan Chest rented and sold new and refurbished durable medical equipment such as wheelchairs, bedside
commodes and walkers. A sliding fee scale allowed low-income, uninsured and underinsured individuals and families to access needed
equipment. IGTLC clients include people who need help regaining mobility after medical procedures, people who need accommodations for
permanent physical disabilities and people who want to age independently in their homes and need assistive equipment to do so.
Guardianship Services
JFCS served as the legal guardian for those of our clients who are unable to care for themselves and have no one else to care for
them. Our dedicated and compassionate guardianship staff adhere to the highest ethical standards in carrying out their special duties
to those under our care.
Pooled Trust Services
JFCS administered the only pooled trust in the entire state of Arizona. Through a pooled trust, individuals who would qualify
for public benefits but for the one-time receipt of a substantial amount of money, are able to receive or maintain their
benefits. Through this program, JFCS clients were able to continue receiving public benefits for their essential needs and
still use their other assets for special or supplemental needs.
Fiduciary Services
In addition to our guardianship and pooled trust services, JFCS offered a broad range of other
fiduciary services including representative payee services to assist in bill paying and routine
financial tasks and the administration of special needs trusts. JFCS was also able to carry out some,
limited duties of conservatorship when they were in the best financial interests of the client and
no conservator had been appointed.
5
STRENGTHENING
ADULT LIFE
JFCS has developed expertise in services for children, seniors and people with disabilities, but
the vast majority of our clients are still typical adults in need of a little assistance navigating
life’s rough patches. Last year JFCS helped strengthen adult life with its counseling and financial
assistance programs.
Emergency Financial Assistance
JFCS kept people in our community from becoming homeless,
going hungry or foregoing medical care by offering limited
emergency financial assistance and food relief. We served the
Jewish community through the Tucson Jewish Relief Fund, and
offered the same assistance to members of the general community
through our Basic Needs program.
Financial Literacy
“Knowing that JFCS services
are there for us has really been
a bright note for both of us.
Your show of kindness and
caring has been a light in
our lives.”
JFCS offered a financial literacy series through which clients
learned basic personal finance skills such as household budgeting,
opening and maintaining bank accounts, and bill-paying. Clients
completed financial literacy training as a component of receiving
emergency financial assistance.
Case Management
JFCS provided case management to Jewish and non-Jewish
individuals and families in financial crisis. Through case
management, JFCS provided referrals to appropriate agencies for
other emergency assistance with food, shelter and overdue bills.
Mental & Behavioral Health Services
Through its Jack J. & Gary I. Sarver Counseling Center, JFCS provided
a wide spectrum of counseling services to help clients cope with
life’s challenges including depression, anxiety, traumatic life
events like death and divorce, domestic violence and substance
abuse. A sliding fee scale allowed JFCS to serve those with
limited resources or insurance. JFCS counselors and therapists
have specific expertise in helping our senior citizens and people
who are developmentally disabled as well as in helping domestic
violence victims and offenders.
6
CHAI Circle: Cancer, Healing &
Inspiration for Jewish Women
CHAI Circle provided education, mentoring, socialization,
spirituality, and support within a Jewish context to Jewish
women who are battling cancer or are cancer survivors. CHAI
Circle empowered women within the Jewish community to be
active and informed cancer survivors in their healing of mind,
body and spirit.
Jewish Addiction Support Services (JASS)
Within the context of Jewish spiritual and cultural values, JASS
supported and educated Jewish individuals and families struggling
with the use or abuse of alcohol and other drugs. The JASS
program is based on and works similarly to the Jewish Alcoholics,
Chemically Dependent Persons, and Significant Others program.
JFCS’ core value of healing the world through loving kindness and good deeds comes across clearly through our community projects. JFCS works
with synagogues, churches, businesses and individual volunteers to ensure that families in our community do not go without those little things
that make life joyous. JFCS also helps heal the world by ensuring that our social and behavioral health professionals have access to affordable
continuing education. Last year, our community projects included…
Holiday Food & Gift Card Drives
JFCS worked with local congregations and members of the
community to collect kosher food items so that members of the
Jewish community experiencing financial hardship could celebrate
the Thanksgiving holiday in accordance with their religious and
cultural traditions. As well, JFCS collected gift cards to big box
retailers so that limited income families could purchase clothes,
food or other gifts to celebrate Christmas or Hannukah.
Elizabeth “Betty” Brook Institute
for Continuing Education (ICE)
The mission of the Elizabeth “Betty” Brook Institute for Continuing
Education (ICE) is to meet, at a reasonable cost, the continuing
educational and supervisory needs of those who serve others.
Because the ultimate beneficiaries of the Institute are those served
by seminar participants, the goal of ICE is to help create the best
educated, most informed and skilled human service professionals
possible.
ENGAGING THE
COMMUNITY
Matza & More Passover Project
For over 40 years JFCS has been providing the supplies needed
for Jewish families who would otherwise be unable to enjoy
Passover Seders. The Matza & More Passover Project is our largest
community service program, drawing support from synagogues,
secular community groups, businesses and scores
of individual volunteers who packaged and
delivered Passover baskets filled with all the
essential items for a Seder.
“Thank you for providing a
kosher turkey for our
Thanksgiving dinner.
Your mitzvah was a
blessing for our family.”
When you volunteer with JFCS you support our
mission to serve the community. If you would

community projects, please contact Jennifer
