Family Life Education - Jewish Family Services provides workshops on different topics of concern to the Jewish family. Workshops that have been given so far include a series on Parenting, and how to deal with the difficult behaviors of small children, a series on Teen Self-Esteem, including one session on nutrition and exercise, and one specifically on body image and eating disorders. Also, JFS has also organized joint educational programs with Hadassah, the women's zionist organization. In 2000, JFS and Hadassah provided the preschool program, Al Galgalim, to the community. It was very successful and continued on in 2001. Other workshops offered have covered stress management, substance abuse, domestic violence, women's health issues, and internet safety.
