Jewish Family Service - Cincinnati

“It's an amazing accomplishment." We are proud to announce that we've been recognized for achieving the gold standard in client care for case management services for adults and older adults, and mental health counseling for all ages.

“It's an amazing accomplishment to be awarded the full three years as a first-time applicant,” said our CEO, Liz Vogel. “It took incredible diligence, professionalism, and flexibility on the part of our team.”

Independent outside experts CARF International have evaluated our programs and confirmed: the people we serve receive the highest quality care.

For Older Americans Month, our counselors want to remind you: "Please don’t go through a challenging health crisis alone. We are here to guide and support you through it. Whether it's you personally or your parents, let us be there for you."

We celebrated Shavuot together: the Center for Holocaust Survivors, Russian Jewish Cultural Center, and K’vod Connect.

We made our famous cheesecake again—this time with even more creative decorations—and everyone enjoyed treats, gifts, a raffle, and learning about Shavuot traditions.

We welcomed Erica Nyberg, our Vice President of Development and Marketing, who shared insights about how our programs grow through community support, and took the time to answer our questions.

Shavuot reminds us not only of the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai and the harvest, but also of the strength of community and connection.

Sharing our team's values: Tikkum Olam (repair the world).

"I grew up witnessing my aunt, who had a serious mental illness, suffer immensely and at times be treated terribly by law enforcement and the medical profession. It was that experience that created my desire to be a therapist and to advocate for the mentally ill and to ensure that those in my care are treated with dignity and respect."

We are proud to feature our team's values this May, Mental Health Awareness Month.
