JFS helps people redefine an old career or find a new one.

Sudden loss of a job ranks along with death and divorce as a life stressor that may negatively affect feelings of self-worth and lead to depression, anxiety and family instability. Concern for financial security, professional competence and family security are normal during this time, and usually part of a natural grieving process. For most people this process will lead to hope if life and personal priorities are kept in balance.
