Jewish Mental Health
Over the past three years, I have been actively volunteering with the National Association of Social Workers, Jewish Special Interest Group to combat antisemitism. Our mission has been to provide support, encourage research and education, and address the rising tide of antisemitism. Since October 7th, I have been assisting Jewish students, families, therapists, and community members in developing coping strategies and processing the challenges we face. I am also an active member of the Jewish Therapist Collective and the Association of Jewish Psychologists.
I am a program director for Kesher Shalom Projects, a volunteer-driven initiative founded by experienced trauma therapists in response to the events of October 7th. This project aims to equip therapists worldwide with the tools and expertise needed to support Jewish clients during times of conflict.
