JFCS East Bay.

In short

No - nothing published about practicum or trainees; the careers page is an employer profile

Ten federal plus six Jewish paid holidays

Berkeley & Concord · Alameda & Contra Costa — what the organization is, what its own site publishes about clinical training, and the questions to bring. Every fact below was read from a fetched page on the date above, and each one links the page it came from. Nothing here says what is available today — sites change; the organization answers that.

What it is

The organization, from its own site.

Jewish Family and Community Services East Bay, from Berkeley (2484 Shattuck) and Concord: refugee resettlement and mental health, immigration legal services, older-adult care management and counseling, children and family services including play therapy, Holocaust-survivor support, Russian-language programs and LGBTQ refugee support.

Its site: jfcs-eastbay.org.

What its site publishes about training

What was found, and what was not.

No practicum or trainee content is published on the pages read. Its careers page does carry unusual benefit detail — a 401(k) with a 3% match and ten federal plus six Jewish paid holidays — which reads as an employer profile for licensed and associate-level applicants.

Where a question about roles belongs: its careers page.

Before you write to anyone

The three questions that protect your hours.

A trainee cannot count hours from a private practice or a professional corporation — § 4980.43.3 draws that line, and the trainee rules page walks all seven of the rules that decide whether a placement counts. A registered associate has a wider map; both start from the same three questions: who signs the supervision paperwork and on what schedule, which settings the hours would come from, and — for a trainee — whether your program’s site agreement exists yet, because § 4980.42 puts that agreement on your school, not on you.

The whole search method — whose job the search is, the order that saves cycles, and the paper trail to keep — is on the how-to-find-a-practicum-site page. This profile is one shelf of it; the full Bay Area shelves are the practicum-sites directory and the associate-employers directory.

Where every figure came from

Sources.

This profile records what the organization’s own site published on the read date, and nothing else. It is not a statement about today, it is not an endorsement, and it is not legal advice. Sites change; the links above are where to check.

Figures checked, narrative not re-read

The numbers are current. The argument around them has not been reviewed since it was written.

You should not have to work this part out on your own.

Once a month: free tools and apps worth having, better ways to run the admin side of a practice, what other California therapists are actually doing, and anything new here that might save you an afternoon.

About monthly. One click to leave. Never sold, never shared. The consent box is separate and unticked because California requires it — and because it should be.
