ANNUAL REPORT

story
TO TELL JEWISH FAMILY SERVICE
A
letter FROM THE CEO
Dear Friends, Here we are, more than 8 months into a global pandemic. It’s hard to believe all that has transpired since the beginning of last fiscal year, August 2019. This annual report highlights outcomes and stories from a combination of pre-pandemic life and our relief efforts since it began. Looking back to Fall 2019, there was so much excitement around our office as we planned multiple upcoming events. In just the first two months of 2020, we held Volunteer Appreciation, a professional Family Violence Conference, The Faith Inclusion Network of Dallas Symposium highlighting best practices for individuals with special needs, and were ramping up for our largest fundraiser, the Woman to Woman Luncheon, in April. The rest of the year has had a drastic shift in tone. There is an undeniable sense of uncertainty across our city... and our nation. Now, too many are focused on just being able to meet their basic needs. There is a staggering amount of people facing a multitude of serious hardships including food insecurity, abuse, illness, loss, addiction, depression, anxiety, mental illness, unemployment or the challenges of aging; and too often in isolation from family or their usual sources of support. However, I hope you find comfort in knowing that Jewish Family Service will always be a safe place for these individuals and families in the greater Dallas community to turn to when they need professional support. Since March 2020, we’ve seen a 400% increase in calls to our intake line for mental health, older adult or crisis intervention services, 750+ families line up to receive food during our weekly drive-thru food distributions, and more than 2 million dollars distributed for emergency assistance. Every service area is proving to be busier than ever before. So much about the future is still unknown, but we are going to keep pressing on, making our impact in new and meaningful ways. We are proud to serve all in need and to help tell their stories of resilience on their path back to self-sufficiency. On behalf of the entire board and staff, we want to thank you for your support, advocacy, partnership and passion to serve others as we continue to address the emerging needs of our community. Sincerely,
Cathy Barker Chief Executive Officer

STRATEGIC PLAN 2020-2022 Jewish Family Service of Greater Dallas Strategic Plan
Goal 1 | Improve Access
2020-2022
Increasing access is a critical element in meeting the mission of JFS, as it is important for clients who reach out to us to be able to access services when needed. Key aspects of achieving improvements in service delivery include addressing the agency’s physical infrastructure by building an optimal space coupled with increasing staffing and modernizing technology systems. Key Objectives: • Develop a capacity and building plan to expand access to all service offerings. The capacity plan will include staffing, furniture, fixtures, and equipment needs 3
• Improve productivity in service delivery areas
Goal 2 | Create Sustainable & Supportive Systems Over the next 3 years, we will create financial stability and ensure long-term sustainability through focused efforts on further diversifying and increasing current funding streams. JFS will remain open to mergers and affiliations that strengthen its financial portfolio and align with its mission and values. Key Objectives: • Investigate feasibility of Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC) model for primary care clinics • Evaluate and analyze funding streams annually • Establish and maintain reserves of 6 months’ worth of operating cash • Secure capital and endowment funding that supports JFS expansion and ongoing operational costs through JFS agency and the JFS Foundation • Pursue financial sustainability and continuation of PLAN • Complete a housing project plan for PLAN Clubhouse members utilizing the PLAN Housing Fund assets, over the next three years
Goal 3 | Build Community JFS will build a better community through its leadership in social and mental health services and its partnerships with other organizations. JFS conveys its vision through a planned communication and public relations strategy. Key Objectives: • Increase awareness throughout the community about JFS • Establish new branding for JFS of Greater Dallas • Improve JFS visibility as a leader in areas of expertise
Goal 4 | Engage People Enhancing employee engagement with a focus on mission driven services and outcomes is essential to the overall success of the agency. Retaining engaged and loyal staff is a key ingredient to uphold the culture of excellence within the agency. Strengthening relationships with our external stakeholders will strengthen our existing culture and is key in accomplishing our mission. Key Objectives: • Establish JFS as a non-profit employer of choice in the region • Develop a culture of excellence program 4
In October 2019, Dallas was hit by two tornadoes, which devastated neighborhoods and businesses and directly impacted families in the Jewish community.
Tornado Response As a member organization of the Dallas County Volunteer Organizations Aiding in Disaster Relief (VOAD), JFS Dallas received reports including their recommended disaster responses. Our relief efforts began quickly and are continuing as long as needed. JFS Dallas offered crisis support and ongoing mental health services for schools, teachers and support staff, businesses that were displaced and impacted, children and teens, parents and caregivers, first responders and community helpers who were all experiencing fear, anxiety, and loss. We provided the full scope of our professional services including but not limited to: Individual and Family Counseling, Emergency Financial Assistance, Food Pantry, Case Management, Support Groups, and Chaplaincy.
Shelter for Community Partners When we heard that The Jewish Federation of Greater Dallas staff was displaced because their building sustained damage, we were happy to open our doors and share space so they could come together to establish longer-term recovery plans. Additionally displaced by the storm, The Dallas Hebrew Free Loan Association (DHFLA) continues to reside with us.
Trauma-Informed Care Thanks to a grant from The Jewish Federation of Greater Dallas, we hired a new trauma clinician as a result of the tornado that devastated the Dallas community. This role provides traumainformed care to clients who have experienced a natural disaster, childhood trauma, or family violence and will provide outreach to the community about these services available to them at JFS. Individuals who have continual outbursts or have a preoccupation with the traumatic event, extreme withdrawal, or other signs of intense anxiety all point to the need for professional assistance. A qualified psychologist can help them understand and deal with thoughts, feelings and behaviors that result from trauma from a natural disaster.
2019 TORNADO RELIEF 5
COVID-19 RESPONSE $2.8 million will be distributed through JFS Dallas’ emergency housing and
utility assistance program through partnerships with Collin County, Dallas County, and the City of Dallas to over 1,000 families by December 7.
Over 10,300 individuals have received
nutritious food from our drive-thru food distribution just from May - July 2020. Average of 750 families served weekly.
5,455 Kosher Home Delivered Meals driven to 47 homebound seniors by 68 volunteers.
8,324 virtual therapy sessions for adult and children between March and July 31. 8,488 career and financial coaching interactions with clients and companies. 41 job seekers have gained employment since March even under difficult times. $53,691distributed to 68 individuals
through our donor-established S.H.E.F. Fund specifically for restaurant workers who were affected by the initial stay at home orders.
120 Care Packages delivered directly to PLAN Clubhouse member homes, which included member-made treats with recipes, puzzles, books, and more.

“I saw significant improvement in my child’s behavior once he was meeting with a JFS clinican regularly. We are so thankful for this service.” - JFS Client
Professional Staff Jewish Family Service has 47 licensed professionals and mental health counselors across child, school, adult, and older adult service areas including Doctors of Psychology, Clinical Social Workers, Licensed Professional Counselors, Psychiatrists, School Intervention Specialists, and more. 7
CHILDREN and TEENS 1,000+
Client Ages
children served in schools
302 children served at JFS In-School Services Thanks to a grant from Jewish Federation of Greater Dallas, children in Dallas Jewish Day Schools receive immediate crisis intervention, assessment, counseling services, and support groups in school from JFS clinicians. We also provide support groups, coping skills, and trainings to teachers, school staff, and/or administrators to have the tools needed to address these new challenges. Our clinicians work directly with parents and guardians to support the child’s treatment, guide them through the challenges of virtual learning, decreased social interactions, and other issues that arise due to the pandemic.
Speech/Language Pathology 56 children received in-person Speech Language therapy and 36 teletherapy sessions per week continued after COVID-19 stay-at-home orders began. In addition, every child was given an individualized calendar with daily speech-language activities, to help maintain and advance their skill levels with their personal communication objectives.
8
FAMILY VIOLENCE INTERVENTION Our comprehensive approach for victims of trauma and family violence includes immediate crisis management, long-term trauma and counseling for victims and their families. This includes play therapy for children who have experienced or witnessed abuse, coordination of supportive services and Transitional Housing. The Transitional Housing program is funded by a federal grant, and is now in its third year of operation. It has been able to help approximately 25 families each year to begin a new life in a safe and nurturing environment. Unfortunately, we are unable to serve all who apply as the demands and requests exceed the grant restrictions. When short-term shelter is needed, families are referred to our partners at Genesis Women’s Shelter, Family Place, and New Beginnings.
Intergenerational Family Violence Our model of intervention has proven that intergenerational family violence patterns can be halted. A JFS study was conducted with over 200 past Family Violence clients. 98% reported they no longer find themselves in abusive relationships and have maintained that status for their last 3-5 years after they completed their treatment at JFS. The results of our modality of intervention are continuing to be very positive and hopeful.
9
Hosted Professional Family Violence Conference In February 2020, JFS partnered with University of North Texas Incendo to hold a professional conference for more than 200 clinicians in our area, helping to teach best practices in the area of trauma. We had an incredible speaker, Dr. Janina Fisher, who is a licensed Clinical Psychologist and Instructor at The Trauma Center, an outpatient clinic and research center in Boston, MA. Dr. Fisher lectures and teaches internationally on topics related to the integration of research and treatment and how to introduce these newer trauma treatment paradigms in traditional therapeutic approaches.
747 individuals received family violence services 641 individuals developed a safety plan 80 individuals were supported by our Transitional Housing program 30 individuals received legal service assistance 10
Dialectical Behavior Therapy Service Highlight Our six month Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) course has shown to be effective in teaching and refining skills to change negative behavior and emotional patterns by regulating intense emotions, managing difficult interpersonal relationships, and fostering more work-life balance. Participants have shown significant improvement, one participant stating that they, “finally have the tools to notice real, lasting change.”

PLAN People Living Active Now! These are words that have special meaning for those who struggle with the isolation and loneliness associated with severe and persistent mental illness, and their families. PLAN @ 1121 Rock is the only accredited Clubhouse in North Texas. The Clubhouse Model focuses on members having access to opportunities that all people want and need: relationships, a safe and dignified place to be and live, pathways to a job and an education. Above all, members and staff work together to provide each other with encouragement and friendship. We also join together to fight the stigma associated with mental illness. This past year, we pivoted to become a virtual community during the pandemic, and nonetheless, provided thousands of hours of member connectivity and support. As one member put it, “In these unprecedented times, I would have been in the hospital if it weren’t for PLAN resources.”
70%
of members reported less frequent psychiatric hospitalizations and ER visits for psychiatric reasons
84%
of members reported fewer calls to Crisis Hotlines as a result of their participation at the Clubhouse
90%
of members reported that the Clubhouse is preparing them for employment through the volunteer “work-ordered” day. 12
OLDER ADULTS TALIA’S
story
Earlier this year, Talia turned 86. Though it was becoming increasingly difficult to get around, she was determined to keep herself busy with senior book clubs, volunteering, and painting classes. She always looked forward to Chavurahs (small group gatherings on Shabbat) with friends from temple, too. So, when COVID-19 stay-at-home orders began, and everything went virtual, she was surprised to feel a small sense of relief. She acknowledged that she was slowing down and needed to listen to her body and make sure her mental health was a priority while social distancing. With the help of her JFS Case Manager and Counselor, Talia was able to smoothly transition to the new normal. Fortunately, and unexpectedly, the world is now a little more accommodating and accessible now. She is choosing to look at the positives and has welcomed new opportunities to learn how to stay connected while homebound. She has shared with staff that she appreciates getting weekly visits from JFS Kosher Home Delivered Meals volunteers and being matched with a volunteer who checks in regularly over the phone, too. Her counselor will continue to meet with her remotely to ensure she is able to remain independent in her home for as long as possible.

Serving Holocaust Survivors With the help of a grant from Jewish Federation of North America’s Center for Advancing Holocaust Survivor Care, we hired a full-time clinician who provides trauma-informed care to Dallas-area Holocaust survivors and their caregivers. JFS provides counseling, psychotherapy, care management, financial assistance and non-medical home care to help maintain their independence and quality of life. These services are also made possible with our ongoing partnership with The Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany. In total, 27 Holocaust survivors and 23 family members in Dallas are currently being served.
14
Highlights We expanded trainings, education and awareness through 6 new partnerships including the “Who ‘Ya Know Show” on LinkedIn Live, Allen Community Outreach, Linux Academy, PrideStaff, Right Management, and Zoe’s Kitchen. We recruited volunteer trainers and developed curriculum, almost doubling the number of networking, career fairs, workshop and training groups to total 114 new events for the year. All CFS team members received training in financial coaching techniques which resulted in assisting clients to better achieve financial stability.

stories Financial Services
By creating and sticking to a very detailed budget, a couple in their 30s now know what they need to live within their means, a debt reduction plan even during the pandemic, and substantial emergency savings to rely on so surprise expenses no longer build up their credit cards.
Career Services A woman in her 60s took a job during the pandemic working in a call center making $12/hour. The income was not a sustainable wage so she visited with her coaches at JFS. After receiving information, practice and feedback on how to network effectively, the client is finalizing a new remote position at $25/hour, an increase of more than 100%.

FOOD PANTRY and EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE
15,564 individual clients received food pantry services 913,738 total pounds of food distributed 92,203 meals distributed in first 3 months of the

Kosher Corner JFS is the only Food Pantry in Dallas that includes kosher food products for the Jewish community. These meals allow for diverse and healthier options that meet most cultural and dietary needs. The Kosher Corner sees roughly 30 families a week. We also support these clients by working with shuls and community leaders to provide Passover and Rosh Hashanah meal packages for the holidays. 17
MARINA'S
story
Marina’s family was living off her husband’s salary while she was studying to be a teacher. They lived modestly and almost always had enough to cover bills. Like many Americans though, they were living paycheck-to-paycheck. Unfortunately, her husband was furloughed due to COVID-19 and they knew they needed immediate support from JFS. Marina reached out to her child’s counselor and asked if they could qualify for emergency financial assistance and start getting food. She also used what would have been this year’s college tuition funds to help pay for their basic needs short term. Since May, Marina has relied on the weekly drive-thru food distribution to feed her family during this incredibly stressful time. When her children were on summer break, she brought them with her in the drive-thru so they could say thank you to the staff and volunteers for helping their family (pictured below). The pre-teen told us that he knows there are a lot of families like his who are really scared and that he is so happy places like JFS are here to help. Marina is grateful for this short-term support and looks forward to getting back on track soon.

THE PRIYA FUND The Priya Fund offers Jewish couples partial grants towards fertility treatments including in-vitro fertilization (IVF), intrauterine insemination (IUI) procedures, and adoption. We are able to distribute funds based on dollars raised through individual giving annually. “I believe that people should have the opportunity
12.5%
of U.S. women use infertility services
16.7% of Jewish Women use infertility services Source: CDC statistics
to have a family despite their financial situation. I am involved in Priya because I experienced infertility with my first child and my second child is adopted. I personally understand the longing to be a parent and the helplessness felt when it seems impossible. Finances should not be the reason why someone's dream of a family is unfulfilled. Any Jewish person who values family can understand why receiving funds from Priya can be transformative and life-changing.” - Priya Advisory Committee Member

“I am grateful for the Priya grant I received
of outreach to local Rabbis, Synagogues, Temples, and one-on-one informational sessions for women in the community
during my infertility treatments. Going through infertility treatments was painful, isolating, and stressful for me. It was also very expensive because it was not covered by insurance. The out-of-pocket costs for medicine in addition to treatments were overwhelming, but it was comforting to know that the Priya fund was created to help

SPECIAL NEEDS A Coordinated Response To address the needs of individuals with disabilities, JFS’s team of professional experts works to ensure children and families with special needs reach their fullest potential at home, at school, and in their community. In addition, the Special Needs Partnership (SNP) program raises awareness and inclusion, providing support, resources, and education for individuals and families through coordination of JFS programs and services. This coordinated approach promotes a culture of inclusion that is embraced by both the families served, as well as our religious, academic and secular constituencies.

During COVID-19, many Jubilee Park clients have turned to the Emergency Housing Assistance Program at JFS for help paying rent and have visited the weekly drive-thru distribution at our Food Pantry. We have seen very little program attrition even while providing many mental health services remotely. 21
JFS AT JUBILEE PARK Jubilee Park and Community Center serves as a catalyst for revitalization in Southeast Dallas, a predominantly Hispanic low-income community, with an emphasis on childhood and adult education. The majority of families here are working poor who are underserved in terms of education and health resources. Since 2017, two bilingual licensed clinicians from Jewish Family Service have been offering a welcoming environment for families to bring their children to address trauma through play therapy and family counseling. Services are provided regardless of their access to health insurance. In addition to mental health services, we also help parents advocate for testing in school so their children can receive additional support. We have participated in the summer camp for the past two years, leading group sessions with teenagers and young children to explore themes of social and emotional problems and how best to resolve them.

KEISHA’S
story
Keisha is a 26-year-old single mother who lives with her three children ages 8, 5, and 1, and attends online college classes. She came to counseling in part because she was experiencing anxiety and stress related to ongoing custody issues with the father of her 1-year-old son. At the beginning of therapy, she was unemployed and had just ended an abusive relationship in which CPS was involved. Keisha was struggling with insomnia, poor eating habits, financial hardship, and trying to finish online school while caring for her three children by herself. Over the course of therapy, she was able to obtain legal advice and recovered her son’s custody. She started working part-time as a certified nurse assistant while continuing to pursue her associate degree. Keisha’s goals included: improving self-care by developing a bedtime routine for herself and the children, learning coping skills to help lower anxiety levels, and improving parenting skills. The CPS case was addressed, and Keisha slowly started regaining her confidence as a mother. She reported applying some of the parenting skills learned in working with her JFS Counselor and focused on building a relationship with her children. Keisha also initiated new homeowner’s counseling to learn how to eventually become a homeowner. 23

WOMAN to WOMAN
Luncheon Benefiting Jewish Family Service of Greater Dallas
OUR FIRST-EVER VIRTUAL FUNDRAISER For our 9th Woman to Woman Luncheon, we were excited to have actress Julianna Margolies join us as our keynote speaker on April 24, 2020. But in March, like the rest of the world, the coronavirus pandemic derailed our plans. So, we got to work transitioning our raffle, wine pull, and fundraising efforts to be fully virtual. In just six weeks, during full stay-at-home orders, we successfully recorded our first-ever agency “home video” with the help of community members and local celebrities, organized a donor matching campaign, and created a thoughtful program. Our heartfelt thanks to our co-chairs Julie Gothard, Nicole Post, and Melanie Rubin, along with our honorary co-chairs Linda Garner and Ethel Zale, for their tireless efforts to make this event successful. We could not have achieved such a successful outcome without their help!
Chief Executive Officer, Cathy Barker, gave updates on our COVID-19 Response during our Woman to Woman Luncheon Program.

JFS FOUNDATION Established in 2012, The JFS Foundation supports the long-term viability of the mental health and social services of Jewish Family Service through planned giving and endowments. It allows thoughtful, generous people to make a lasting difference in our community for generations by ensuring the availability of JFS’ high-quality, accredited services for any child, teen, adult, or older adult in need. Establishing a fund or endowment to the Foundation is an investment in the long-term success and viability of the programs and services of JFS. While a yearly contribution to JFS makes an important, direct, and immediate impact, a Foundation fund helps secure the future of JFS services for our community.
If you are interested in learning more about planned giving including estate gifts, charitable gift annuities, trusts, and more please contact Cathy Barker, Chief Executive Officer at 469.206.1645 or cbarker@jfsdallas.org.
ROBIN SACHS
Three reasons why I set up a fund at the JFS Foundation The Agency I am deeply committed to the work of the agency. Through years of volunteering, I became keenly aware of the outcomes and stories of individuals whose lives have been impacted and improved by the services at JFS.
L’Dor V’Dor The experience of caring for my mom, of blessed memory, over the past several years opened my eyes to the overwhelming financial, physical, and emotional needs of caring for the elderly. As a result, my husband Bob and I decided to designate the Sachs-Farkas Family Fund specifically to benefit services for the elderly. My mom was very fortunate to be able to afford a wonderful support system. Other families may not be so lucky. My Tikkun Olam hope in designating this fund is that JFS will always be This is my heritage, my inherited value system. The able to provide to other families and caregivers the kind mission of JFS speaks directly to repairing the world - of critical services that I needed for my mom. one family and individual at a time. Creating my fund at the JFS Foundation ensures that my legacy will I invite you to consider setting up a fund at JFS to continue to repair the world after I’m gone. I hope that ensure that more than 150 services provided by JFS it sets an example for others. today remain available for our children, their children, and many generations to come. 37

2020 Unsung Heros When stay-at-home orders went into effect, Laurie McCarty, The Resale Shop Store Manager, and Dawn Leobold, the Assistant Manager, temporarily closed the store. Soon after, they volunteered to help with administrative tasks and in the Food Pantry as we prepared to open our drive-thru distribution. The hours they also spent purging and organizing agency files put us months ahead of schedule for our year-long project, and they did it all with a can-do, positive attitude. They balanced providing support at JFS, managing re-opening plans, and operations at the store. We simply could not have gotten through the last six months without them.

When you give to the Resale Shop, we can do great things. Donations from the general community are sold at The Resale Shop to provide unrestricted operating support to JFS. Last year, with your support, we brought in a total of $458,662 in sales. These funds go a long way in providing financial assistance and more to our most vulnerable clients.
Vouchers for Clients Did you know that we don’t only sell the items that are donated to the agency? We also provide clients with vouchers when they are in need of emergency assistance due to a family violence situation, to obtain work clothes to help get a job, or in need of items to start a new home. JFS clinicians and caseworkers offer these vouchers to eligible clients.
Get Involved The Resale Shop is always looking for new volunteers to help sort and tag items at the store in Richardson. If interested, visit jfsdallas.volunteerhub.com. As a result of COVID-19 social distancing guidelines, we have had significantly less traffic in our store. Please help us spread the word to check out the one-of-a-kind finds here so we can continue to impact the lives of those we serve. Learn more at jfsdallas.org/resale 40
