OUR MISSIONJewish Child & Family Services provides help, healing and caring services, infused with Jewish values, to strengthen lives in the community.

jcfs.org

IT TAKESA COMMUNITY. JEWISH CHILD & FAMILY SERVICEShas provided trusted, innovative services for individuals, families, organizations and

communities across Chicagoland for over 150 years. JCFS helps those in our community

facing challenges with life transitions, mental health, developmental disability and basic

human need.

In FY13, Jewish Child & Family Services provided service to 4,800 distinct clients and 307

organizations, responded to 9,927 people seeking information or assistance and overall

touched the lives of nearly 28,000 people. And we couldn’t have done it without you.

A MESSAGE FROM OUR BOARD CHAIRMAN

As I complete my first year as Chairman of the Board of Directors, I want to thank our many volunteers, stakeholders and Board members for their contributions to make FY13 such a success. This year was jam-packed with issues and opportunities that required a huge commitment of time, and the Board members, with their different expertise and passions, generously devoted countless hours to help.

As in years past, Board members connected with those the agency serves at dinners in our Residential Homes, at the Model Seder, at the Therapeutic Day School and more. Ongoing committees helped guide our services and finances. Board members demonstrated leadership and engaged their friends, families and colleagues to make it a banner fundraising year. Special projects dealing with accreditation, real estate, quality control and a program portfolio analysis ensure that our programs continue to be strong and the agency remains fiscally responsible.

I would be remiss if I did not share one accomplishment made possible only through the inordinate efforts of our entire Board of Directors and our overworked but totally committed executive officers: our groundwork in developing a new alliance with JVS Chicago that will ensure the continuation of the agency’s much needed services for our community, and allow both agencies to deliver integrated services.

With the Board’s continued active support, FY14 will bring to fruition our new JCFS/JVS Chicago strategic alliance, the new Jewish Center for Addiction and our Divorce Specialty Center: Family Redefined.

“Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.” And, so, to the Board of JCFS and our agency’s executive officers, as well as to our many other volunteers, donors and staff, thank you.

H. Debra Levin

A MESSAGE FROM OUR CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

Within the pages of this Annual Report you will find stories of those JCFS has helped this past year: a student with special needs making friends; a single mom finding financial stability; a former addict finding a road to recovery; a parent connecting to help for her children with disabilities; a foster child who found a loving home. For these individuals and the thousands of others we serve each year, a call to JCFS means that help is in sight.

While our programs and services remained strong, behind the scenes we began implementing our Strategic Plan adopted in late 2012. A study allowed us to gauge the mission focus, impact and sustainability of each program. A facilities evaluation is allowing us to think beyond our traditional buildings and towards the growth of community partnerships. This work is geared toward expanding our reach and positive impact by more fully integrating JCFS into the fabric of the daily life of the community.

We spent much of the past year exploring a strategic alliance with JVS Chicago, resulting in an Alliance Agreement that took effect on July 1st. Together we represent over 275 years of service! Many Jewish family service and vocational service organizations across the country have successfully joined together, and we look forward to integrating our programming to best serve our community. Under the agreement, JVS Chicago remains an independent agency, with JCFS providing management and support services. Our collective goal remains unchanged: to provide those we serve with the help and support they need to succeed.

Your support made all of this possible. Our deepest appreciation goes out to everyone who generously shared their confidence, time and financial resources, making it possible for JCFS to provide hope, healing and caring services for people in need.

Thank you.

When emotional and behavioral disorders create problems, trying to fit in can feel like holding one’s breath.

As a middle-school student at a Jewish Day School, Sam was prone to sullen moments spent with his head down and his voice silent, disconnected from his friends, and from his close-knit community. His anxiety attacks made him an outcast at school and his anti-depressant medication often left him unprepared for schoolwork. He didn’t fit in, and he knew it. He needed help.

When Sam arrived at the Yeshiva Program at the Therapeutic Day School, he sat in class, hood over his head, literally and figuratively isolated from those around him. But soon Sam found that the Therapeutic Yeshiva was a place where he could be himself – imperfect, curious, temperamental and, over time, fearless. The Therapeutic Yeshiva provided him with opportunities to succeed and grow. Surrounded by a team of special education teachers, social workers, Rabbis and more, Sam went from being a stranger in his own school to a student whose peers embrace him. Today, Sam has been able to return and reintegrate into his home Jewish Day School, where he is a successful student. He’s even looking ahead to studying at a local university.

“Teachers and staff at JCFS get it – they see my son’s challenges, help me address them and really want him to be successful. They understand that success can be measured in many ways. I’m so happy with JCFS.”

– Therapeutic Day School parent

Finding the right therapeutic environment can mean exhaling, with school and community success in sight.

THERAPEUTIC YESHIVA PROGRAM The Therapeutic Day School offers a supportive environment for students with emotional, behavioral or learning disabilities. It engages teachers, parents, mental health professionals, special needs educators and the community itself in the students’ development. Each student’s needs are met through a comprehensive, individualized education program designed to give the student a feeling of success and belonging, and to help transition to the next educational level. Religiously observant students may also enroll in the Therapeutic Yeshiva program and attend Yeshiva classes in addition to their secular education program. In a 2013 survey, 90% of Therapeutic Day School parents agreed that they were satisfied with the education their child received, and 100% agreed JCFS staff recognize their child’s strengths.

Holding onto both your dignity and your money can seem hard when faced with a financial crisis.

Robin thought that she and her family were living within their means. As with many couples, she and her husband shared finances; she routinely saw him with the checkbook, paying bills and balancing the account. Everything seemed fine…until the couple separated. That’s when the financial threads of Robin’s life began to unravel, and fast. As bills went unpaid and her account dwindled, Robin had no idea of where to turn for help. Then, she remembered the donations her family had given to JCFS to help families in need. Could she now be one of those families in crisis she once supported? Pushing past her embarrassment, Robin contacted JCFS and opened her heart and mind to accepting help.

With the help of an empathetic JCFS financial counselor, Robin was respectfully guided through first-time financial experiences, such as signing up for government benefits to help her buy food, get medical care and pay utility bills. Having the counselor’s support made all the difference for Robin as she rebuilt her family’s life and crossed the bridge back to financial stability, focusing on what mattered most – a warm home, a stable school environment for her children and dependable nutrition and health care.

“When I was sick and had a very hard time recovering and getting on my feet financially, JCFS gave me a sense of security and not feeling alone amidst all of my challenges.”

– Financial Counseling client

Accessing financial counseling can mean that financial stability is in sight.

FINANCIAL COUNSELING JCFS Financial Counseling specialists help people become better stewards of their money, whether they are a struggling family or an individual challenged by managing a budget to maximize personal resources. Understanding how to handle day-to-day living expenses today while planning for a secure future is a priority, and JCFS offers these financial lessons infused with Jewish values. 86% of respondents to a 2013 survey of financial counseling clients reported that the services they received from JCFS have met their needs. 99% of clients who received a financial assistance grant reported that the assistance would make a positive impact by helping to restore the client’s financial circumstances.

Recognizing one’s own drug addiction can be both painful and courageous.

Joel never considered himself to be addicted to alcohol. But in truth, Joel was an alcoholic – a Jewish alcoholic – and his dependency caused rifts with his family, his community and even his Jewish spirituality. Ten years ago, many rabbis didn’t understand how to help a congregant who turned to them when dealing with addiction. Joel actually had to step away from his faith to begin a 12-Step program, attending meetings in unfamiliar church basements.

Today, the story is different. Joel is living clean and sober and is an active member of his synagogue community. His rabbi and lay leaders have partnered with JCFS’ Jewish Center for Addiction (JCA) to learn about helping more of their members. Joel is now a certified substance abuse counselor, and for Jewish clients, he uses tools from JCA to integrate Jewish practices, prayers and Torah into each of the 12 steps of the program. He also attends 12-Step meetings at several synagogues and volunteers with JCA to help more Jewish settings open their doors.

“When I suspected my teenaged son was using drugs, he was slipping away from us and my husband and I were terrified. Now we are on the road to recovery, as a family.”

– Chicagoland parent consulting with JCA

Turning to a religious community that’s prepared to respond can lead to the hope that, with help, recovery is in sight.

JEWISH CENTER FOR ADDICTION The Jewish Center for Addiction was launched to assist individuals and families in the path of addiction’s immediate trauma and to help build caring communities that are aware of and responsive to addiction. Services include community awareness, sobriety support, spiritual programs and professional training. In FY13, 44% of families served by JCFS were impacted by substance abuse.

Caring for a family member with a disability can be overwhelming in ways others can’t comprehend.

Charlene had a plate filled with ample servings of life’s challenges. But, she had managed to fool everyone, convincing them that she had it allunder control. Yes, her son with autism was struggling through college. Yes, her youngest son was living with a learning disability that required her steady attention. And, yes, her husband’s grief after the death of his sister left him detached, depressed and eventually, without a job. But everything was OK…wasn’t it? Overwrought and distressed, Charlene discovered the JCFS Disability Helpline, picked up her telephoneand called.

Immediately, Charlene’s JCFS caseworker connected her to a support group for parents of children with learning disabilities. Her husband joined a grief support group, and was also referred to a vocational program at JVS Chicago to help him find a job. Charlene was given references for college-level support for students with learning disabilities. Each connection took Charlene a step closer to calm. The worries that threatened to overtake her were, with care, becoming manageable.

“I called the Disability Helpline yesterday and spoke with the most thoughtful person. She listened to me…I am already feeling much better.”

– JCFS Disability Helpline caller

Placing a call to the JCFS Disability Helpline can mean that assistance is in sight.

DISABILITY HELPLINE JCFS offers educational programs, services and support groups for people with disabilities and their families, including workshops, respite, futures planning and case management. The JCFS Disability Helpline is a single telephone number that helps callers navigate and connect to disability services. In 2013, more than 400 families turned to the Disability Helpline for support. 95% percent of respondents reported that they received the information they needed and 100% reported they felt listened to.

Being passed from home to home can make a child feel unloved, unwanted.

Foster parent Gladystine Jones lives a life where love “knows no limits.” After raising four of her own children, she opened her home and heart and worked with JCFS to receive three foster children, two of whom have since become her own through adoption. John, the newest member of the family, arrived angry, anxious…and loud. He screamed over and over and over, day and night. Gladystine empathized; after all, John had already lived in at least two foster homes in his young life, but the screaming had to stop.

Gladystine lay awake one night searching for a solution. She reflected on the training she had received from JCFS to become a foster parent – on providing structure, empathy and authenticity. The next morning, as John sat in the living room screaming at the top of his lungs, she sat down beside him. Then, she joined his screams. For several minutes, they screamed together. Weary, John at last turned to Gladystine and asked, “Why are you yelling?” She replied, “Because you are.” He stopped screaming, allowing her to give him the kind of love and discipline that he needed to flourish. Now, John excels at school, and enjoys in-line skating, biking and playing football. And Gladystine? Well, she’s making plans for John to become her third foster-care adoption.

“JCFS found me a home where I can still stay in touch with my family. That helps with the feelings I am going through.”

– Foster Care youth

When children in foster care believe that they are important to someone, comfort is in sight.

FOSTER CAREJCFS manages foster care and specialized foster care services in conjunction with the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services, to place children from birth to age 21 in foster homes. JCFS recruits and trains potential foster parents to provide care for the children we place in Cook, DuPage and Will counties. In a 2013 JCFS survey, 100% of participating foster-care youth agreed that their case managers understood their needs and their family’s needs. JCFS also consistently exceeds the state’s expectations for standard of care.
