A Message From Jewish Family & Children's Services Parent Coaching
The COVID-19 crisis is impacting families throughout our community. As we all work on adjusting to our new, albeit temporary, normal, we are left trying to create new routines in our lives. With schools, day programs, and places of employment closed, this is particularly important for children and their families. Predictable structure is vitally important, but it is difficult to create and provide, especially during a time of such uncertainty. JF&CS is here to help with free parent coaching! Please contact us to schedule a phone call or video meeting so we can help you put together a schedule for your child and troubleshoot any challenging behaviors they are exhibiting.Contact us at drn@jfcsboston.org or 781-693-5640, and we will connect you with a staff member who can provide coaching and support during this crisis.See the flyer here
