WHO WE ARE

JACS, an organization led by volunteers, is dedicated to encouraging and assisting alcoholics, chemically dependent persons and their families, friends and associates to explore recovery in a nurturing Jewish environment.

JACS exists to provide support for Jews in recovery and be an information resource on the effects that alcoholism and drug dependency have on Jewish family life.

JACS is the only organization dealing with the suffering caused by drugs and alcohol in Toronto’s Jewish community.

Since opening in 2000, more than 6,000 families have turned to JACS for help.

At our Sheppard Avenue headquarters, the community has discovered a comfortable, safe, and spiritual environment where understanding is the rule.

Our community, just like many others, is in denial about addiction amongst its members. Jewish families of all denominations are living in turmoil, with few realizing that there is a place for them to go for help.

At JACS, we show there is no shame in reaching out for help. There is no need for the members of our community to suffer in silence. You are not alone.
