Welcome to Jewish Family Service & Riskin Children’s Center of Clifton/Passaic
Supporting & Strengthening Family Life
Founded over 50 years ago to serve the communities of greater Clifton and Passaic, Jewish Family Service has a history of evolving services to families in need. These services include community-based geriatric services, family counseling, crisis intervention, case management, child-centered mental health services, school consultations and domestic violence services.
Part of a network of 14 family service agencies covering the entire state of New Jersey, Jewish Family Service is positioned to access resources and expand services to a broad network.
Jewish Family Service is a beneficiary of the United Jewish Campaign, the United Way, and Federal and State Grants.
Our Services Include:
Individual, Family, Marital, Group and Play Therapy – "I’ve been trying so long to solve this on my own. Maybe I could use some help."
Workshops and Discussion Groups on Topics of Concern – "I’d like to meet people going through the same thing as me."
Consultation - Do you feel like you need therapy?
Information and Referral – Find out more about benefits, entitlements, resources for yourself and your family, accessing mental health services.
Services to Special Populations – older adults, victims of domestic violence, children with special needs, including casework, counseling, crisis intervention, group therapy and home visits.
Speakers Bureau – Community presentations on a wide range of topics, from parenting to in-law relationships.
JFS is seeking cars - in running condition - for families in the community in need of transportation.
