J-CHAI works to raise awareness and provide education and services to individuals and families struggling with domestic abuse and mental health issues. Currently, J-CHAI plans to develop new community health initiatives that address the diverse social service needs of the Twin Cities’ Jewish community. The Jewish Domestic Abuse Collaborative (JDAC) and the Mental Health Education Project (MHEP) merged to form J-CHAI, which is a collaborative effort between Jewish Family and Children’s Service of Minneapolis and Jewish Family Service of St. Paul.
