JFS KidSuccess: Celebrating 30 Years of Promoting Well-being in Schools

For the past 30 years, JFS’s school-based mental health program, KidSuccess, has been on the front lines, making a difference, welcoming children, and providing the necessary resources for them to heal. KidSuccess’ unique hands-on approach promotes a supportive school environment for students that fosters achievement, high self-esteem, resiliency, and personal responsibility. 

Our KidSuccess team joins each school’s staff to support teachers, youth, and their families. They use different modalities, such as play therapy, art therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (more commonly known as EMDR) therapy, to help students address varying levels of traumatic experiences. 

Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being and is integral to overall health. The KidSuccess program addresses this need and prioritizes students’ overall mental health while reducing barriers to give them the best chance for success.  

Throughout the year, we’ll celebrate the KidSuccess program on social media and in our publications, highlighting their remarkable work and spotlighting team members. We hope you join us in acknowledging this incredible milestone!
