The Jerusalem Mental Health Expo 2022 (At Nefesh b'Nefesh)
Channel: Daniel Rosehill
Date: 2022-05-16

This year, at its Jerusalem campus, Nefesh b'Nefesh hosted the first Jerusalem Mental Health Expo - a day-long series of panels and expos designed to provide olim hadashim (new immigrants) with information about the mental healthcare resources available to them in the community. 

The event also provided an important networking opportunity for mental healthcare professionals. Panels covered topics such as the halachic (Jewish legal) dimensions of seeking therapy as well as specialized sessions on topics such as trauma response.

The Jerusalem Mental Health Expo was made possible with the support of a multitude of stakeholders - including Nefesh b'Nefesh,  the Jerusalem Municipality, Kav L'Noar, Machon Dvir, Clalit, and more. 

I attended a couple of excellent panel discussions at the event and also interviewed some of those manning booths to ask them about the mental health services that they make available to the community.
