Please join JFS Boulder and Shannon Everett, LPC, with the Lyda Hill Institute for Human Resilience in a Resilient Family Academy for families impacted by the Marshall Fire.

The Boulder community has been struck by many recent tragedies. When communities are faced with compounding crises, it can be helpful to take a pause and offer space for grief and healing.

JFS Boulder has expanded its mental health services to provide ongoing high-quality mental health services for anyone needing therapy, including those impacted by the Marshall Fire or Straight-Line Wind Event in Boulder County. The Red Cross and Boulder County Housing and Human Services generously supported this expanded service.

JFS Jewish Disabilities Advocates (JDA) and its partner organizations will focus on connection and belonging throughout 2023. A kick-off event on February 1 will feature Rabbi Lauren Tuchman and Rabbi Julia Appel.

JFS Boulder has received a $250,000 recovery grant from the Red Cross to expand access to longer-term mental health services for those impacted by the Marshall Fire and Straight-Line Wind Event, as well as individuals who have secondary trauma attributed to their roles as first responders, teachers, and disaster recovery staff.

As the one-year anniversary of the Marshall Fire approaches JFS Boulder continues to provide resources for those impacted by the fire.

Boulder JFS is seeking an energetic, positive, and collaborative individual to be our Volunteer Services Manager.

This single-session group intervention is for our neighbors who have experienced trauma from the Marshall Fire. The goal is to build resiliency and reduce traumatic stress surrounding this event.
