As autumn settles, we are reminded that change is not only seasonal; it is personal and communal. October invited us to reflect on our resilience and healing as we honor Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Mental Health Awareness Month, and Hispanic Heritage month.
At JFCS East Bay, we see this resilience every day in families rebuilding after trauma, older adults attempting to cope with the loss of essential assistance, and refugees seeking safety and belonging in our community. We know that the foundation of security is knowing your rights. That is why our Immigration Legal Services team is stepping up to guide individuals through increasingly complex systems, ensuring they have the tools and support to move forward with dignity and hope.
Knowing your rights is the first step toward empowerment and safety. Together, we are building a stronger, more resilient East Bay: one story, one family, one act at a time.
