Our hearts are with our neighbors in Pawtucket as we hold all those impacted in our thoughts.

Our mission remains rooted in strengthening community, fostering resilience, and ensuring that everyone has access to care, compassion, and support when they need it most.

If you or someone you know would benefit from counseling or support, please reach out to us. Together, we will continue to support one another and move forward with strength and hope.

Proud to see our mission in action at Tamarisk!
Stories like these reflect the heart of our work 🤩

Every resident has a story, and being part of their journey is why we do what we do. Hearing how our community has made a meaningful difference reminds us that our community isn’t just a place, it’s the people, the care, and the peace of mind that comes with knowing you belong!

It’s painful to learn of another tragedy, this time in Australia targeting the Jewish community, especially as we continue to process events close to home. Moments like these can feel heavy and overwhelming. Please know our Counseling Center is here for anyone who needs support. ❤️‍🩹💙

We are heartbroken following this tragic act of violence that occurred at Brown University. We are holding in our thoughts all those who were harmed, their loved ones, and the students, faculty, and staff.

When something so painful happens in our own backyard, we know how important it is to lean on one another and to offer care wherever it is needed.

For anyone experiencing grief, fear, or feeling overwhelmed, JCS’ Counseling Center is here to offer compassionate, confidential support and a safe space to be heard. Our doors are open to all, regardless of faith or background.

We are sending love, strength, and prayers for healing to the Brown University community and to everyone affected during this difficult time.
