Over the last few months, the Board of Directors of Jewish Family Service

Agency has been hard at work managing transition within the organization.

This coming year will mark many new beginnings for JFSA.

In September, we formed a search committee for the Executive Director,

comprised of Shelley Ail, Charlotte Bell, Rabbi Philip Bregman, Mitchell Gropper, Rabbi Jonathan Infeld, Elliott Lipsey, Frieda Miller, Leah Rubin, and myself as Chair.

Over the next few months we will

be working on preliminary tasks and

establishing a system for developing,

interviewing, and selecting

candidates, and we will be engaging

a search firm in the recruitment

process. We look forward to keeping

you and our many stakeholders

updated during this time.

With the lease for our current office

space coming to term in early 2015,

the Board is also focused on finding

new offices that will best meet

the current and growing needs of

staff and our clients. Factors we

are taking into account include

accessibility and location.

MESSAGE FROM LEADERSHIP

Despite these major priorities, we know

that the most important deliverable that our

organization has, is to help our many clients who

seek the support of our programs and services.

Despite these major priorities, we know that the most important deliverable that our organization has, is to help our many clients who seek the support of our programs and services. Last year alone, with your support,

and that of our many volunteers, funders and partners, we met the needs

of 1,500 individuals in the community. A special thank you to our committed

staff who work on the front lines daily. We are proud to know that the work of

our agency is far reaching and impactful; that the experiences that we help to

create are transformative.

We have many community partners who work with us annually to ensure that

we continue fulfilling our important mission. A special thank you to the Jewish Federation of Greater Vancouver, for not only being our largest funder, but

a tremendous resource to our agency in planning. In late spring, we were

approved for $840,000 each year for the next two years in allocations from

the Federation Allocations committee. This funding currently makes up 22%

of our annual operating budget and we are grateful to the many community

members and donors who give to their campaign. For more information on

which programs are supported by this funding, please see page 10 for

the full article.

We wish each and everyone of you all the best for the year ahead.

Thank you again for your friendship and support. Enjoy this edition of

Family Matters.

Sincerely,

Joel Steinberg

Board Chair

SENIORS

Most days, Ruth goes to her 89 year old

mother who still lives on her own, to help

take care of her. She brings home cooked

meals, runs errands, takes her to medical

appointments and most importantly, she

gives her companionship.

She is among 28% of Canadians age

15 and older who provide care to family

members or friends with long-term

health conditions, disability needs or

aging needs, according to a Statistics

Canada report released in Fall 2013.

39% of caregivers look after their own parents

Caregiving for Aging Parents

5

Page 8: INSIDE - Jewish Family Services...David Kaplan, Elliott Lipsey, Frieda Miller, Leah Rubin Over the last few months, the Board of Directors of Jewish Family ServiceAgency has been hard

SENIORS

More than one quarter of caregivers — or 2.2 million

individuals — in Canada could be considered “sandwiched”

between caregiving and raising children.

Most were women between the ages of 35 and 44 and were

helping parents or parents-in-law while also having at least

one child under age 18 living at home.

8% help spouses

3 hours per week

is the amount of time adult children spend caring for parents, an ill or disabled family member. The amount of time varied depending on the relationship between caregiver and care receiver.

22% of seniors who receive caregiving support live in care facilities, including assisted living and long-term-care homes

9% help parents-in-law

A Special Program for Adult Children

The JFSA Seniors Department has

seen the increase in the number of

adult children, most often those in

their fifties, who need help in learning

about community resources for their

parents, understanding the levels of

care and criteria for access to assisted

living and congregate care. They are

working, have family obligations, yet

want to do as much as they can for

their parents or in-laws.

Often simply talking with our Director

or seniors counsellors is helpful. Many

learn over time how to better balance

caregiving for others and themselves.

Several have expressed an interest

in meeting together to talk about

resources, care options, and how they

have learned to navigate the health

system, and to have the opportunity

to talk about the difficulty of this role

and the changing mental and physical

condition of their once vital parents.

JFSA has responded by offering an evening monthly drop in group for adult children. We believe that getting

together to share issues, information

and mutual support will be helpful.

Our first session was on October 22.

Feedback from participants was

positive. There is no charge for this

group. All those with aging parents

are welcome.

The next session will be on November 26 at 7pm at JFSA. Sessions will be facilitated by

Dr. Judith Globerman.

No registration required, but if you plan

on attending, it would be helpful to call

Joanne Haramia, Director of Seniors at 604-257-5151 local 217.

Dr. Globerman brings a long history of research and practice in gerontology focusing primarily on the impact of caregiving on families. She recently retired after 12 years as the Executive Leader of Care Services at the Louis Brier Home and Hospital and the Weinberg Residence. Dr. Globerman is currently an Associate Professorship Emeritus at the University of British Columbia.

This program is generously funded by allocations through the Jewish Federation of Greater Vancouver and The May & Stanley Smith Charitable Trust.

COUNSELLING

Often, when an individual comes into

their physician’s office with depression

and/or anxiety they are prescribed

medication. Present medications used

to help patients may include Effexor,

Celexa and Ceprolex. In my opinion,

after 35 years of clinical practice, such

medications can be of great importance

and may even prevent self-harming

behaviours. I and my colleagues have

also recommended that clients speak

with their physician about mediations to

support them during therapy.

However, there has been research in the

2010 Journal of the Medical Association

that anti-depressant meds are not shown

to be more effective than placebos except

in those individuals with severe depression

symptoms. Harvard Medical School

corroborated similar results in 2014.

There are many studies that indicate that

psychotherapy is as, or is more effective

than anti-depressant medications.

As a therapist and a clinical director

for more than 30 years, I can state

that many clients will benefit from

counselling therapy – but why?

• Effective therapy can support

clients become more resilient

• Therapy can support a client to

raise their level of independence

and even their functioning

• If focuses on building support

systems - with family or friends

and relationships – and prevents

isolation

• Therapy helps clients move

through the complexities of the

emotional system and teaches

how they can soothe that reactive

system that sometimes becomes

a liability – especially in stressful

situations with others or their

environments

Is Medication thefor Depression

Page 11: INSIDE - Jewish Family Services...David Kaplan, Elliott Lipsey, Frieda Miller, Leah Rubin Over the last few months, the Board of Directors of Jewish Family ServiceAgency has been hard

• Therapy is a hopeful process;

optimism is a necessary part of

the therapist’s belief that change

is possible

• Therapy is a collaboration between

the therapist and the client that can

yield change and healing

• Therapy can be short or long term;

change can occur in either, though

it is thought that long-term change

comes from a longer commitment to

the therapy process

COUNSELLING

There is unquestionably the need

for medication for some people

experiencing difficulties such as

depression and anxiety. Individuals

experiencing symptoms should

always seek medical attention

promptly and explore options for

medications, if indicated.

Psychotherapy can also play a

significant role by promoting

mental health and effecting

positive long-term changes.

of the capital gain. However, donating the

appreciated securities to charity as a gift-in-

kind, will help you eliminate this requirement.

CLIENT OUTCOMES

Stories of SuccessTsvia moved to Vancouver earlier this year with her husband. Immigrants from Ukraine, they felt that they could have a better life here in Canada. Despite their optimism, adjusting to their new environment has not been without challenges due to the language barrier. Shortly after arriving in Vancouver, they were recommended to JFSA and over the next few months, found affordable housing and for him, employment.

One day, during a regular meeting with her Resettlement Counsellor, Tsvia experienced intense pain from a toothache. She told her counsellor that this had been bothering her for awhile but recently the pain had gotten worse and to the point that she was not able to eat properly. Unfortunately, Tsvia did not qualify for assistance or medical care so could not previously address this ailment.

Her counsellor quickly consulted with JFSA’s Seniors Department staff to find a dentist that could see Tsvia on short notice. Within days, she was able to schedule an appointment and her counselor came as a translator. It turned out that

Tsvia required extensive dental work, including a full root canal. Tsvia felt in despair; she knew that she and her husband could not afford to have this procedure done on their limited income.

Tsvia’s disappointment quickly turned to joy, though, due to the generosity of this particular dentist. She received her root canal that day as he chose to donate his services.

Today, Tsvia is healthier and pain-free. “The doctor was my angel and I am so lucky that he cared to help me – a stranger. It is never easy as a new immigrant, struggling to build a life in our new homeland.” Tsvia and her husband are so very grateful for this random act of kindness and feel blessed to be part of such a caring and supportive Jewish community.

Two years ago, Marla was devasted to learn that her adult daughter admitted she had a substance-abuse problem. From that moment on she knew that her life would be forever changed.

The family was concerned about her granddaughter, Bea, who was in elementary

school at the time. Her family life was chaotic and unpredictable. She felt

confused and insecure. Bea loved her mother and worried about her constantly.

Through friends, the family heard about the YOU Matter Program and Bea

started attending clinical counselling to help address her experiences. Weekly

sessions gave her the tools with which to understand and experience a safe

environment with safe adults and a safe place to regain her sense of trust and

predictability. Marla attended each counselling session with her granddaughter

for support. Through this therapy support process, soon she realized that her

life had also become unmanageable. She herself, needed to come to terms with

her daughter’s addiction and to make sense of the challenges they were facing

as a family unit. She decided to start her own weekly therapy sessions.

After two years of therapy, Marla now feels she is in a place of peace and

understanding. “The compassion, understanding, and commitment I have been

fortunate enough to receive from my therapist has transformed my life from one

of darkness to one of hope and trust.” Her daughter is now also a part of the

program, and her transformation has also begun. Marla is truly grateful for the

YOU Matter Program that continues to help her family.

“ The compassion, understanding, and commitment I have been fortunate enough to receive from my therapist has transformed my life from one of darkness to one of hope and trust.”

Hannukah ... a time for Tikkun olam, repairing the world

If you would like to help someone in need,

please contact the Development Office at

604.257.5151 or [email protected].

Hannukah celebrates the miracle of

light and carries with it the messages

of renewal, hope, and the dispelling

of darkness. It can be a time for us to

rededicate ourselves to the Jewish value

of tikkun olam, repairing the world.

For low-income families this can be a

challenge because of the struggle to

acquire basic necessities and meet the

demands of a changing economy. After

obtaining adequate food and housing,

there may not be much left over for

“extras” such as warm clothing, medical

expenses, and toiletries, let alone

Hanukkah gifts, special food items, toys,

and even candles. The spirit of Hanukkah

promotes the shining of light into

the dark corners of our world and

reminds us that that these families

are not alone, they are remembered

by the Jewish community especially

at this joyous time of year.

JFSA is grateful for the support

from many community partners

and donors who help each year to

ensure that Hannukah is special for

low-income individuals and families.

Last year, local organizations

and community members came

together to collect more than

forty bags of nutritious canned

food, gift certificates for families

with children, winter clothing for

all ages, wrapped Hanukkah gifts

for kids, handmade cards, and

apple sauce and oil to help make

the holidays bright for our clients.

This year, the community is already

coming together again to renew

their annual commitment.

Todah Rabah!

JFSA’s Friends for Life Giving Circle: Hineni – “Here I Am”

Ten years ago, JFSA introduced a new giving

circle to the organization called Friends for

Life. This circle recognizes the most committed

supporters to the agency, who have given a

lifetime accumulated giving of $100,000 or more.

These individuals and families embody the spirit

of Hineni – a phrase that means “here I am” in

Hebrew. More than a simple word, it expresses a complete commitment to do something challenging, important and on behalf of the Jewish community and those in need.

Over the last two years, the circle has grown

significantly with new members. JFSA is proud

to welcome Gary Averbach, Lorne Greenberg

and Sari Zack, The Lutsky Families, Dr. Neil and

Michelle Pollock, Charles Shnier, and The Ben

and Esther Charitable Foundation. In addition to

their extraordinary philanthropic commitment,

many are also past and current volunteers and

have served as Board members.

“JFSA has always been a top priority for our family.

We know that our annual support means that

the agency can provide our community with a

vital social service safety net. The agency helps

people address challenges that they face –often

those which are unexpected. It’s about helping people restore dignity, and providing hope and meaning in times where a person’s struggle may feel like its insurmountable. It is a blessing for us

to have the opportunity to help others and be part

of building a vibrant Jewish community” says

Dr. Neil Pollock who became a member this year.

Todah Rabah to our many friends for their

longstanding friendship

and commitment to the

agency and for ensuring

that we fulfill our

important mission.
