In accordance with our underlying belief that each of us must take care of one another, we continue to respond to communal and individual needs and to offer a diverse range of programs and services designed to strengthen the lives of everyone in our community. This reportвЂ™s Services Area Summary will provide you with an accurate picture of the breadth and depth of what we accomplished this year. As you will note, our challenges were varied and plentiful and required us to continually adapt to a changing environment. We learned, as we have in the past, that one of the byproducts of delving into and dealing well with social service needs is the ongoing discovery of additional needs. Our increased focus on aging seniors with psychiatric disorders, for example, resulted in increased caseloads and the realization that the вЂ�boomerвЂ™ generation will invariably produce a greater number of people to be serviced. Similarly, our promotion of suicide prevention services and of addiction services revealed to us that, so far, we are dealing only with the tip of an iceberg. The ongoing flow of new immigrants to Winnipeg also has proved a challenge to us as we assist them in integrating into our community. At the same time, our commitment to ensuring that Jewish children in foster care enjoy a secure Jewish identity, has also proved a challenge as we continually encourage their connections to Jewish institutions and life cycle events without having secure ongoing funding in place. The promotion of JCFSвЂ™ financial assistance programs also has resulted in us having to stretch the limits of our financial resources. And the list goes onвЂ¦вЂ¦ We have been able to respond as well as we have largely because we have developed important relationships with government, other human service agencies, and many generous donors. These relationships have enabled us to leverage resources and serve people efficiently. Importantly, however, it is only with your continued involvement and support that we will be able to continue to offer assistance and to help people live independent and satisfying lives, regardless of the challenges of aging, disability, family dysfunction, isolation or economic hardship. We are very grateful to our dedicated board of directors, loyal volunteers, professional and compassionate staff, our funders, our donors and our community for recognizing our vital work and for continuing to support us. Emily Shane Executive Director Jewish Child and Family Service п‚· Annual Report 2010-2011 5 Message from Our President This year marked the end of an era in the history of JCFS with the passing of Harry Walsh (of blessed memory), the last of the thirty members of our community, who in 1952 came together to create JCFS. The vision of these thirty individuals has greatly benefited the Jewish community of Winnipeg. These leaders truly understood the meaning of tzedakah and the importance of standing with people in times of need. As JCFS approaches its sixtieth anniversary, it falls to this generation of board, staff, donors and volunteers to ensure that the vision of these founders is carried forward. It was particularly heartening this year to witness the support that JCFS received from its funders. Our Agency continues to be one of main priorities of the Jewish Federation. As well, the Province of Manitoba and the United Way continue to be very generous in their financial contributions. Our Annual SupportersвЂ™ Campaign in the fall and the Passover Campaign in the spring were incredibly successful this year, with both campaigns seeing an increase of over fifteen percent. What a testimony this is to the generosity of our community! Our Agency also benefits so greatly by those who give of their time. Over one hundred and fifty people volunteered this past year. The positive impact that these people have on the lives of others is only surpassed by the satisfaction that the volunteers receive by giving back to others. It is very gratifying to be president of JCFS and to work with the board in setting the policy direction for the Agency. The board is very excited that in the next few months we will be undertaking an assessment of community needs so that we have the data to decide where best to focus the human and financial resources of the Agency. Please take the opportunity to participate in this process. Your input will be invaluable in helping the board plan for the future. Also, please polish up your dancing shoes and get ready to party next March! Two thousand and twelve is a very special year in the history of Jewish social services in Winnipeg. Not only does this year mark the sixtieth anniversary of JCFS but it also marks the one hundredth anniversary of the Winnipeg Jewish community organizing its first social service agency. We intend to celebrate this Century of Caring with a variety of activities including a childrenвЂ™s carnival and a gala in March. We can think of no better way to honour the memory of those whose vision and generosity have made what we have today possible and to provide an endowment to carry our work forward for another hundred years.

The Counselling program assisted 302 families and/or individuals. Twenty-eight of those were newcomer families who received language specific counselling in English, Spanish, Hebrew, and Russian. JCFS is proud to continue to offer counselling supports to Animikii Ozoson Child and Family Services Inc., a Manitoba First Nations child welfare agency. Supportive groups continued to be offered at the agency. In partnership with Hospice and Palliative Care Manitoba, JCFS ran the Taking Steps: Bereavement Walking Group. As part of the agencyвЂ™s membership on the Winnipeg Suicide Prevention Network, JCFS also offered Making Strides: Survivors Of Suicide Bereavement Group, in partnership with SPEAK (Suicide Prevention, Education Awareness, Knowledge). COMMUNAL MENTAL HEALTH The Communal Mental Health Program supported and assisted 151 Jewish individuals living with psychiatric differences. Supports were also provided to their families. In combination with the Older Adult Services program, JCFS continued to address the unique needs of seniors in our community also living with mental illness. The вЂњChaverim: Building Wellness for Mental HealthвЂќ group has continued to meet over this past year. This holistic mental health wellness group now meets on a weekly basis and continues to offer social, cultural, spiritual and physical recovery programming goals of clients. A fitness component continued to expand, in partnership with the Rose and Max Rady Jewish Community Centre. Again this past year, Wellness group members proudly beautified the Asper Campus by planting and maintaining the summer planters. This year, JCFS became active in the area of Suicide Intervention. JCFS now offers the 2-day ASIST (Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training) workshop to both professionals and non-professionals in the community. JCFS staffs have been trained in ASIST, which strengthens their ability to support a person at risk of suicide. The JCFS facilitator will be delivering ASIST workshops in the Jewish community and the community at-large, in efforts to broaden the base of suicide intervention trained caregivers. RESETTLEMENT/INTEGRATION JCFS acts as the regional arm of Jewish Immigrant Aid Services of Canada (JIAS), a nationally based organization whose mandate is to serve Jewish immigrants and refugees to Canada. JCFS Resettlement staff provided immigration supports to 501 cases. Staff also assisted 93 families with their pre-migration needs. These are individuals of families who either visited Canada to pursue immigration, or received ongoing support in their countries of origin while awaiting immigration approval. 8 Jewish Child and Family Service п‚· Annual Report 2010-2011 Many of these families were initially welcomed to the community through the Jewish Federation of WinnipegвЂ™s Grow Winnipeg initiative. The community continues to see a consistent level of immigration for the last several years. We welcomed 113 new families to Winnipeg, comprising 343 people. This year the majority of the families received were from Israel, and the majority of those originated from the former Soviet Union, but also from Ukraine, Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela and Ireland. Our agency has also seen a rise in the number of newcomer seniors and provided supports to 60 seniors of primarily eastern European descent. Approximately 50 of those arrived in the last year, having followed or accompanied their adult children who recently settled in Winnipeg. JCFS Integration staff continues to assist families in becoming part of Canadian community life by connecting families to various community organizations or services and by offering many social, cultural, educational and instructional programs. This year, workshop topics have included: English as an Additional Language (EAL) classes for Russian seniors, conversational English, income tax information, first time homebuyer information, money management seminars, weekly employment seminars, as well as holiday programs, Jewish lifecycle events (e.g. bar/bat mitzvahs), partnership in Yom Hazikaron (Israel Memorial Day) commemorations, family activities, Youth and Senior performing arts choirs, etc. The JCFS Newcomer Integration Employment support person continues to focus on the important employment needs of newcomers to our community. Alongside Integration programming, this work area focuses specifically on supporting newcomers to our community by assisting them in becoming job ready. This includes both direct supports and referral to other, specialized employment service agencies. This year we launched the Yachad Mentorship Program, which is designed Jewish Child and Family Service п‚· Annual Report 2010-2011 9 to bring together immigrants to our community with established professionals in the community. The goal of this program is to help facilitate the newcomersвЂ™ integration into the labour market. OLDER ADULT SERVICES This past year has been a productive one for the Older Adult Services (OAS) program. This program serves the needs of frail and isolated Jewish elderly. It promotes functional independence, safety and access to community services and resources. We provided support to 384 cases including specialty assistance to 103 Holocaust survivors. Supports to Holocaust survivors included assistance with various Holocaust Claims Conference reparation applications. The agency continues to offer a biweekly social group, Reaching Out, for survivors. In addition to the one-to-one involvement we provide to aging seniors, our group programs continue to be a strong source of support. Social Connections has been an ongoing group for individuals with early stage memory loss. The purpose is to provide social contact and intellectual stimulation for clients on a weekly basis and provide respite for family caregivers. The Tallman Fund continues to enhance our ability to offer transportation for clients. Through this fund we are able to ensure our clientsвЂ™ transportation to all of our group programs. On an individual basis, clients have been assisted with transportation to meet their individual needs for accompanied errands and appointments on a much broader scale. Older Adult Services workers and our case-aide have been actively involved in a wide range of situations as the needs of seniors in our community continue to grow. Whether the issues are related to changes in physical or mental health, housing, emotional support or assistance to family, workers are readily available to be involved through assessments and regular home visits. Social work students enhance the program through their involvement in our field placement program in conjunction with the University of Manitoba. Support Services To Holocaust Survivors This specialized service offers support, counselling and information to individuals, couples and families. Assistance with applications for Holocaust Claims for reparation and related issues continue to be provided on a regular basis to over 100 individuals and/or families. Staff assist Holocaust survivors with the intricacies of Holocaust Claims Conference reparation applications. вЂњReaching OutвЂќ, a drop-in group, is held every other week. Consisting of 26-30 core attendees, this program offers discussion, entertainment and ongoing socialization. VOLUNTEER SERVICES Through JCFS, clients are matched with volunteers of all ages and varying backgrounds. Students, retired individuals, professionals and people from all walks of life contribute their time, talent and energy as JCFS volunteers. Volunteers provide support to clients as friendly visitors, accompanying isolated seniors for coffee or a ride in the park. Grocery shoppers and van drivers take clients to purchase their groceries or do the shopping for them. Daily-вЂ�shalomersвЂ™ provide ongoing social contact, which gives isolated seniors a connection with a person who is looking out for their security 10 Jewish Child and Family Service п‚· Annual Report 2010-2011 and well-being. Big brothers/sisters are positive role models for young children. Proctors are advocates for our clients with mental health issues. Tutors and host families help newcomers to acclimatize to their new life in Winnipeg. Administrative volunteers provide assistance in our office in a variety of areas. Please see our complete list of volunteers in this report. Partnerships in Caring п‚§ Machon Madrichim вЂ“ A Jewish youth leadership program which focuses on developing young leaders with a deep sense of commitment to the Winnipeg community, the State of Israel, and core Jewish values and traditions. This three year old initiative is generously funded by the Winnipeg Jewish Federation. The planning committee is represented by JCFS, The Jewish Federation of Winnipeg - Grow Winnipeg, as well as a number of community volunteers. п‚§ A new collaboration with the Salvation ArmyвЂ™s вЂњCommunity venture-developmental day programвЂќ has created a new opportunity for volunteers with special needs to be involved in a supervised program. Our clients have gained additional support from this new outreach initiative. п‚§ Jewish Child and Family Service Volunteer Services Manager, Einat Paz Keynan helped plan and facilitate the community wide celebrations for Yom HaвЂ™zikaron and Yom HaвЂ™atzmaut. This helps ensure that volunteers have opportunities to develop new skills and participate more fully in community activities. JACS (Jewish Alcoholics, Chemically Dependent Persons and Significant Others) JCFS continues to support the needs and efforts of Jews in our community seeking culturally specific addiction recovery services and guidance. JCFS supports the Winnipeg chapter of JACS (Jewish Alcoholics, Chemically Dependent Persons and Significant Others). JACS Winnipeg has been running 12-step meetings with Jewish content once per week at the Asper Campus since August 2007. Through the support of grants and donations, JACS Winnipeg members again attended the JACS Toronto Retreat, as part of their continuing education and development to better outreach to, and assist local community members dealing with issues of addiction. CHILD WELFARE Jewish Child and Family Service is fully mandated under the Child and Family Services Act of Manitoba to provide child welfare and protection services for Jewish children and families in the province. The Child Welfare program worked with 57 families on either a voluntary or involuntary basis. In 2010, JCFS cared for a total of 28 foster children, our highest number of children foster care in decades. Two-thirds of these children are between the ages of 12 and 18. JCFS has observed complex issues facing parents in our community which impact parenting their teens and affecting those coming into care which include: mental health issues, addictions, family violence, abuse, neglect, poverty and isolation, family stress leading to inappropriate discipline (bordering on abuse), defiant and out-of-control teen behaviour, trouble with the law, youth gang involvement, truancy, teen drug and alcohol abuse, immigration stress/cultural clash, etc. Jewish Child and Family Service п‚· Annual Report 2010-2011 11 The agency continues to strive to maximize the development of strong Jewish identity in our foster children through partnership with various community organizations to enhance exposure of Jewish foster children to their Jewish culture. This year, seven of our foster children attended Gray Academy of Jewish Education. The Jewish day and residential camps have also been strong partners in accepting and meeting the needs of Jewish wards, as part of the collective communal responsibility for raising these children. Grant funding from the Jewish Foundation of Manitoba has also made it possible for JCFS to offer foster families opportunities to celebrate Jewish holidays such as: Passover, Chanukah and Purim, participate in an authentic Shabbat dinner at the home of a local rabbi, and celebrate Bar and Bat Mitzvahs of foster children. The JCFS Adoption program was actively involved this year working with 10 Jewish families at various stages in the adoption process. Post Adoption Services In an attempt to reconnect with their birth families, the Agency provided 6 adult adoptees with information about their birth family histories and also provided access to the Manitoba Post Adoption Registry. 12 Jewish Child and Family Service п‚· Annual Report 2010-2011 CHAPLAINCY This year, the Chaplaincy program provided 2,092 visits to hospital patients, nursing home residents, residents in correctional centres and other residential facilities. In addition, 191.75 hours were spent conducting group programs for Shabbat and holidays such as Succoth, Chanukah, Purim, Passover, etc. The program has been challenged by stricter adherence to privacy legislation within health care facilities. This has impacted the community chaplainвЂ™s ability to access Jewish patients in those facilities. There has also been an increase in the number of Jewish residents in non-Jewish personal care homes. The community chaplain has spent increasing amounts of time meeting the pastoral care needs of those Jewish residents. FINANCIAL AID This year 664 individuals and families received short-term emergency financial assistance with $101,460 distributed as financial aid. JIAS Canada is no longer able to provide financial assistance for Jewish newcomers to our community. The Asper Helping Hand Initiative The Asper Helping Hand Initiative (TAHHI), an interest free loan program, is now in its eighth year of assisting members of the Jewish community of Manitoba who are experiencing temporary financial hardship. Ongoing funding for this program is supported generously by The Asper Foundation and the David and Ruth Asper Fund at the Jewish Foundation of Manitoba. To date, TAHHI has advanced over $389,050 assisting 115 individuals and/or families in need. These loans have assisted students with paying for their educational expenses, newcomers with various resettlement expenses, families with catching up bill payments, families celebrating life-cycle events and first-time homebuyers with covering expenses related to their home purchase. Total loans advanced - $389,050 вЂ“ 115 loans 2003 - $17,200 2004 - $25,500 2005 - $53,900 2006 - $65,800 2007 - $40,000 2008 - $42,000 2009 - $29,000 2010 - $81,650 2011 - $34,000 (to May 6, 2011) The Eve and Harry Vickar Community Assistance Program The Eve and Harry Vickar Community Assistance Program (VCAP) was launched in January 2006. This program is designed to support Jewish individuals and families facing significant financial challenges. It has been established with the Jewish Child and Family Service п‚· Annual Report 2010-2011 13 generous support of the L. Kerry Vickar Charitable Foundation as a designated gift through the Jewish Federation of Winnipeg. This program is designed to make a significant difference in the lives of Jewish individuals whose daily struggles due to financial constraints impedes their full participation in Jewish community life and in society generally. To date (to March 31, 2011), The Eve and Harry Vickar Community Assistance Program has distributed over $316,415 assisting 111 individuals and/or families faced with major financial challenges. Shelley Garfield, Program Manager of The Asper Helping Hand Initiative and The Eve and Harry Vickar Community Financial Assistance Program, participated in various workshops throughout the year, presented to immigrant newcomers. This year Shelley participated in a forum on Jewish Poverty co-sponsored by the United Jewish PeopleвЂ™s Order and the Shalom Aleichem Centre. Tzedakah Fund Through the Jewish Foundation of Manitoba 45 individuals and families were provided with an interest free loan to help with basic needs. $28,480 was distributed through the Tzedakah Fund this year. MAвЂ™OT CHITIM This year 337 Jewish individuals and families received assistance through a community-wide campaign which solicits contributions to help those who find it a hardship to meet the extra costs of Passover.

A complete list of contributors can be found in this report. STUDENT TRAINING Jewish Child and Family Service provides field instruction for the University of Manitoba Faculty of Social Work and the Wurzweiler School of Social Work, Yeshiva University. JCFS offers students a unique opportunity to work in a family-based agency. Because of its cultural orientation, the Agency has gained a reputation as an interesting field placement. This past year we offered field instruction to four University of Manitoba students who had an interest in learning about the multifaceted approach to social services offered by JCFS. INFORMATION & REFERRAL Every year we receive hundreds of requests for information on available social service resources and programs in the community. The Agency also distributes the names of homemakers and keeps a registry of available homes for emergency placement. 14 Jewish Child and Family Service п‚· Annual Report 2010-2011 JCFS Caseload Total number of cases 1997 to 2010 Jewish Child and Family Service п‚· Annual Report 2010-2011 15 Our Volunteers Make A Difference Special thanks to our dedicated group of volunteers who give of their time to help others. 0-2 Years Lindsay Berger Aileen Berger-White Meghan Borges Amy Brienan Michael Cantor Roman Chappel Samantha Cohen Mitchell Cosman Sergei Didenko Katelyn Dyck Avery Fedorchuk Ben Fleisher Ronit Fugel Leonard Ganetsky Marcie Glazerman Lorraine Halparin Marina Hercovitch Sivina Holzman Lori Hurtig Chelsea Ward Johnston Jessica Joye Avrum Katz Arkady Kleitman Patricia Kovnats Alex Krotzkin Julia Kruglik Lena Laufer Malka Laufer Arie Lavy Sherry Lercher Davis Justin Lewis Krista Lewis Richard Magil 16 Jennifer Martin Adrienne Meyers Mila Moises Vanessa Murdock Breann Nissen Arnold Packer Erin Pritchard Varonika Rogalsky Lisa Saltel Celia Sarbit Margarita Saverchenko Juan Schwersensky Judi Shuster Aaron Sodomsky Amber Sucharov-Benarroch Celeste Taylor Mandy Thomas Bella Weinberg Danny Weinberg Lorne Weiss Sindee Wilhelmer Ari Hanson Dawn Katz Ksanya Khomenko Rochelle Litman Bonnie Marantz Avi Posen Ksenia Prints Vanessa Prophet Elena Sakharov Geoff Shaffer Tatyana Shilshtut Colleen Slater Fred Switzer Pablo Szajt Laura Thiessen Lois Thiessen Barry Weber Laura Weinshenker Rene Weinstein Ron Wolfe Brenda Yakir Linda Zimerman 2-5 Years Melanie Baruch Sharon Berkowitz Cheryl Billinkoff Mark Breslauer Heather Cunningham Ethyl Dil Marlene Duncan-Williams Sheldon Earn Shannon Ginter Meira Gisser Chas Goodridge 5-10 Years Emilio Allami Sheila Altman Harvey Appelle Abraham Baum Sheila Calof Avrom Charach Barney Charach Fayanne Charach Ruth Charach Saul Cherniack Jewish Child and Family Service п‚· Annual Report 2010-2011 Charley Elazar Israel (Soody) Kleiman Morris Ostrove Carolyn Penner Zofia Perlikowski Karen Richter Alex Serebnitski Shep Shell Norman Shore David Silverman Lana Silvius Alexandra Skouratova Frank Steele Sigi Wassermann Sari Yakubovich 10-15 Years Charles Frohlich Isaac (Ike) Greenfeld Sheldon Margolis Gerard McDonough Sofya Paradny Claire Peltz Daniel Thau-Eleff Norman Wolk 15-20 Years Jason Fraser Orah (Helen) Kleiman 25-30 Years Toby Koffman Long Time Service Awards Ten Years of Service Charles Frohlich For the past ten years we have benefited from Charles FrohlichвЂ™s availability and concern for the clients we serve.

When they are ready, Charles makes sure that their return home is comfortable and safe. Charles, your calming nature has been a wonderful positive support for the clients you have helped over the past ten years. Fifteen Years of Service Ike Greenfeld For the past fifteen years Ike Greenfeld has diligently performed his job as van driver and grocery shopping companion to seniors who participate in our grocery shopping program. IkeвЂ™s caring attention to the needs of each person in the program is commendable. Ike will conduct three trips if necessary to ensure that every senior in his charge obtains the things they want on their grocery list. Ike we appreciate the care you have extended to the clients you serve. We are also thankful for the pride you have taken in maintaining the van that transports the seniors on their shopping trips. Twenty Years of Service Orah Kleiman After Orah retired from teaching she became involved with the agency as a volunteer.

She is always there to encourage and reassure those who are challenged with difficult times in their lives. OrahвЂ™s name in Hebrew means bright light which is so fitting. Orah, you have been the guiding light to so many in bringing in the light where there was only darkness. Thank you for your commitment to caring.
