The Jewish Board of Family and Children’s Services (JBFCS) has been a trailblazer in treating social problems for more than 110 years. Today, JBFCS is one of the nation’s largest and most respected nonprofit mental health and social service agencies.
JBFCS serves over 65,000 New Yorkers annually from all religious, ethnic, and economic backgrounds through a comprehensive range of 185 community-based programs, residential facilities, and day-treatment centers.
Our work is built upon the professionalism of 2,200 employees, including professional social workers, licensed psychologists, and psychiatrists, as well as a cadre of clinical support personnel in continuing day treatment and residential treatment centers. A corps of 2,000 dedicated volunteers work with our staff to help ease the burdens that strain and disrupt lives.
Ensuring the continuing quality of agency programs, JBFCS offers an extensive in-service training program through the Martha K. Selig Educational Institute. Internship programs in social work and psychology are available to students of schools of social work in New York City and graduate psychology programs throughout the nation.
Support for JBFCS services is provided by individual contributions, bequests, program fees, foundations and government grants. JBFCS is a recipient of funding from UJA-Federation of New York and is a member of the Association of Jewish Family and Children’s Agencies.
