Show Sat/Sun/Mon/Tues, August 24-27, 2019 C-5 The Park Record Continued from C-3 Nonprofit finds a new space PUZZLE ANSWERS FROM PAGE C-4 counseling rooms, a conference room, a kitchen for staff, and a waiting and play area for kids. CONNECT Summit County, a mental health nonprofit, is currently using one of the counseling rooms, Silver said. “The Park City Foundation moved because they needed a larger space, so this all happened a little faster than we expected,” Silver said. “Finding a new space was originally part of our 2020 plan, and once this opened up, we really didn’t want to lose it.” The local community helped secure the space, according to Silver. “We formed a Park City task force comprised of locals who helped us get this whole thing together,” she said. “They helped us with fundraising, getting the office together and volunteering to man the reception desk.” JFS is also funded through the community foundation and receive a matching grant from the Marriott Foundation, Silver said. “In addition, we have a special contract for a grant with Park City that will help us fund some of our counseling,” she said. “We’ve been overwhelmed by how excited everyone is about us having our own building.” Silver is grateful for the partnership JFS had with People’s Health Clinic over the past decade. In 2009, a year after Silver was named JFS executive director, she created an arrangement with Park City Councilor Nann Worel, who was People’s Health Clinic P E S T O U C H O F T E N P A A V O S L E E P E R C A R V E S T E X P O S C R Y T E N P I N S R E L A T I N N G A P S P A I T E A N P L E P R O B C O C O S W A N S L Y executive director at the time, to allocate a place to see clients, which it did beginning in 2010. “That partnership continued to be amazing when Beth Armstrong became People’s Health Clinic’s executive director, but we knew we could offer so much more if we had our own space,” Silver said. “We knew we could do a whole lot more in the community if we were able to have our own space.” Jewish Family Service programs aren’t just for Jewish families, Silver said. “As one of the oldest nonprofits in Utah — we started in started in Salt Lake City in the late 1800s — we’re proud of the fact that we serve all Utahns,” she said. “And how we do that is by offering affordable mental health services.” (See accompanying list for services). JFS offers these services on a sliding scale rate, she said. “The scale is very liberal, and even with that, 60 percent of our clients pay below the regular $25 fee,” she said. “We are about making sure people who need mental health services get them. So it’s OK if you’re paying $1, $2 or $5. If you’re motivated and continue to seek our services, we’re fine with that.” While Silver would prefer clients pay something for services, she knows there are circumstances that prevent people from doing so. “This is why fundraising and grants are important to us,” she said. In the meanwhile, JFS in Park City looks to increase its staff by adding a second counselor who speaks Spanish and English, according to Silver. “We have a private donor who came forward and offered to fund another full-time, bilingual counselor for three years,” she said. The new counselor will work with fellow counselors e Park Record. Th Park Record. O F U S E S A N S Amy Edwards, older-adult social worker Alex Mack and bilingual counselor Roxane Cordoa, who split their time between Salt Lake City and Park City, Silver said. “Once we’re full staffed, then we can plan some other programs,” she said. Silver isn’t the only JFS staffer who is happy about the new space. Board President Joy Erickson said as a member of the Park City community, she is aware of the need for affordable mental health services. “JFS offers a safe, caring, and professional environment for all people,” she said. “Having provided these services in Salt Lake City for many years, I believe JFS is well positioned to offer similar services in the Park City area. This mission is what we believe in as an organization, and as members of our Park City non- profit community.” For more information, visit jfsutah.org.
