Long-term mental health services
If you feel you will want/need more than 10 sessions, we encourage you to reach out to our team.

If you already received 10 counseling sessions through the Boulder County Crisis Counseling program or believe that you will need long-term therapy, please reach out to bccc@jewishfamilyservice.org to inquire about availability of our staff clinicians.
Pause and Action Community Grief
Our community has been struck by many recent tragedies. When communities are faced with compounding crises, it can be helpful to take a pause and offer space for grief and healing.
JFS Boulder and the Lyda Hill Institute for Human Resilience hosted a Community Pause Town Hall, led by a licensed clinical trauma therapist, viewers of this Town Hall will learn important aspects of stress and grief, as well as healing mechanisms and avenues for support.

As the one year anniversary of the Marshall fire approaches we invite you to watch this Town Hall to “check-in” with yourself, understand how you can support yourself through the year anniversary and gather some important tools for support and resourcing for yourself and your family.
