Reform Judaism is committed to being an inclusive and supportive community and to promoting mental well-being for all.
Why?
Through our work we hope to promote our aims:
- Education: Encouraging a culture of knowledge and acceptance of mental health and wellbeing-related issues; challenging stigma
- Inclusivity: Supporting our communities to be accessible and welcoming; valuing the uniqueness of each person and what they bring to the community
- Signposting: Providing up-to-date information on accessing both professional support and alternative pathways to mental health improvement
- Judaism: Contextualising our work within Reform Jewish teaching, values and the needs of our communities
What do we do?
