JFS Launches the Employment Support Network for Delawareans Impacted by COVID-19
More than 100,000 people in Delaware have filed for unemployment since COVID-19 became a public health crisis. In response to the significantly increased need for holistic support services, Jewish Family Services of Delaware recently launched the Employment Support Network, an innovative, trauma-informed approach to support Delawareans struggling with the complex challenges of sudden unemployment.
With a long-standing reputation for meeting the changing needs of our community, JFS quickly recognized the need to respond vigorously and innovatively to the pandemic as many of our clients, friends, neighbors, and colleagues are experiencing increased anxiety and mental health challenges while navigating employment changes, food and housing insecurity, and social and economic hardships.
