Jewish Family Services - Edmonton

At the Edmonton Healing Centre, we know that caring for yourself is the foundation for caring for others. Whether you’re seeking support for yourself or preparing for the future needs of your aging parents or loved ones, asking for help is a powerful act of strength and compassion.

Let us help you take that step. Visit edmontonhealingcentre.ca

Caregiver burnout is real. If you’re feeling exhausted, irritable, anxious, struggling to sleep, or overwhelmed by responsibility, you’re not alone. Caring for others—whether aging parents, loved ones, or those in your community—is an act of love. However, it can also take a serious toll on your mental and emotional well-being.

Counselling provides caregivers with a safe space to manage burnout, reduce stress, and find ways to restore balance and resilience. But for many, cost can be a barrier to accessing the support they need.

Through our 54 the Future initiative, we’re building a community where healing and support are accessible to everyone. You can contribute in two impactful ways:

💛 $54 monthly pledge: Supports the vision of building a compassionate, connected community, ensuring that dignity and care are always within reach.

💛 $86 monthly Counselling Scholarship pledge: Directly covers the cost of delivering one subsidized hour of counselling each month. This fund ensures that someone in urgent need—someone who might otherwise be unable to afford care—can access healing and hope. Over 12 months, your $86 pledge equals $1,000 in life-changing support for those navigating crisis.

People who know the heart of Jewish Family Services and the Edmonton Healing Centre know that cost is never the final barrier for those in need. Your support is what makes this work possible—and what ensures no one gets left behind.

Grief is not a sign of weakness—it’s often proof of profound love.

At Edmonton Healing Centre, we understand how deeply loss can impact every part of your life. That's why our caring, licensed therapists all specialize in grief and loss counselling for individuals and families.

From death and separation to life transitions and beyond, we’re here to support you with warmth, compassion, and tools for healing. You don’t have to navigate this journey alone. Book your free consultation today at edmontonhealingcentre.ca to learn more.

Our community is deeply connected—we feel one another’s challenges and celebrate one another’s resilience. With that closeness comes a responsibility: to ensure no one is left behind, and that those who need support can access it with dignity.

Together, through our 54 the Future initiative, we can answer that call. A pledge of $54—or whatever amount you can give—can preserve dignity, offer hope, and ensure that support is always available to those who need it.

Visit www.jfse.org/donate to make your monthly gift and help us create a future where care is extended to all.

Together, we can hold the line, build compassion, and continue to make a difference.

We’re so proud to unveil the new Edmonton Healing Centre website, designed to showcase the incredible care we provide in our community.

Mental health support looks different for everyone, so whether you’re dealing with grief, trauma, or simply coping with change. The Edmonton Healing Centre is ready to help.

At EHC, healing isn’t just about the individual. It’s a ripple effect of care—supporting not only clients but the broader community. Every standard rate counselling session helps fund a low or no-cost session for someone in need, fostering accessibility for everyone, regardless of background.

Today is Holocaust Survivors Day, a time to honour the incredible resilience of Holocaust survivors and recognize the extraordinary contributions they’ve made to society.

At JFSE, we are dedicated to continually supporting Holocaust survivors. Thanks to the generous funding of the Claims Conference and the Azrieli Foundation, we provide essential services such as housekeeping, personal care, and more to Jewish victims who endured N**i persecution.

For more information, please contact Tatiana Kastner at 780-454-1194. She will respond promptly and is pleased to assist in Russian.

Together, we honour their resilience and ensure dignity and care for those who survived unimaginable hardship.
