Thelma Steinman Seniors' Services Support Unit
Short-Term Family Support

Do you have a senior family member who is experiencing personal or family difficulties or issues relating to aging? Are you overwhelmed because of a recent change in the health of a loved one that is impacting negatively on you or your family? Do you feel depressed or anxious and would like to talk to someone in private? If so, you can call for counseling by a trained professional. At Jewish Family Services, we can talk to you on the telephone or do a homevisit to provide short term counseling or personal support.
