Starting a new school year can come with a lot of questions, especially when you're also finding your footing in a new community.

This past summer, our team participated in the Ready, Set, School Community Fair, organized by Caring & Sharing. Our team connected with families and newcomers to share information about Settlement Services, community resources and the supports available to help make life in Ottawa a little easier to navigate.

It was also a wonderful opportunity to connect with fellow community organizations working toward the same goal: helping individuals and families feel welcome, supported and connected.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hello, ask a question and learn more about JFS.

Mental illness doesn't always look the way we expect it to.

Someone can show up for work, laugh with friends, care for their family and still be struggling in ways the people around them can't see.

Mental Illness Awareness Week is an opportunity to challenge assumptions, reduce stigma and make more room for honest conversations about mental health.

Sometimes support begins with something as simple as listening without judgement, checking in or reminding someone that they don't have to navigate a difficult season alone.

If you or someone you care about could use additional support, JFS is here to help: https://heyor.ca/bO427z

Tonight starts the Jewish holiday of Simchat Torah, when the last passage of the Torah has been read and the scroll is rewound to the first chapter. It is a day when we celebrate community and new beginnings.

JFS Ottawa is grateful to walk alongside our community through every stage of life's journey. Wishing you a joyful Simchat Torah and a year filled with learning, connection and peace.
