Jewish Addiction Community Services:  You are not alone. 
At JACS we recognize that the best support comes from people who can truly identify with one another on a deeply personal level. Which is why the groups have been designed by people who have personal experience with the addiction. Our groups offer a space to connect and support one another through the shared experiences associated with addiction and Jewish life.

This group is facilitated by professionals and often welcomes guest speakers. We offer a biopsychosocial understanding of addiction and how it affects all of us

Please join us Sundays 10-11:30am
