Jewish Family Services provides mental health psychotherapy services to adults and children who have experienced
violent crime in the Milwaukee metro area through our
state-certified outpatient mental health clinic. In addition, we respond to the advocacy needs in the Jewish
community statewide and in the metro Milwaukee
area. Our advocacy services offer support to people
impacted by interpersonal violence, housing discrimination and antisemitic hate crime. We serve as an
expansion of SHOFAR, a call to action to address child
sexual abuse, sexual harassment and domestic violence
in our community. All services are funded by the Department of Justice and are offered at no cost to the survivor.

Families and Relationships)

Program addresses child sexual abuse, sexual harassment
and domestic violence. Our goals are to build awareness and
share resources with the Milwaukee Jewish community and
to train community members on how to prevent and address
abuse. The project is named after the shofar, a ram’s-horn
trumpet used by ancient Jews as a battle signal that in modern
times is sounded on some Jewish holy days. It’s a fitting name
for this initiative, which is a call to action against abuse.
