Staying Connected

Virtual Groups for Adults & Older Adults

New Groups for Winter 2021

As human beings, we are wired to be social.  Whether you are an extrovert or an introvert, we all need to connect. Social isolation and loneliness are risk factors for increased medical issues as well as depression and anxiety.  Winter can further our feelings of isolation.

If you are feeling isolated and in need of social connection during this time of uncertainty, please consider joining one our Staying Connected groups.

We’ll help you get set up using Zoom and meet weekly to have an opportunity to talk about how we’re coping, learn new strategies to help manage and to just connect.  You are not alone, JFS is here for you.
