It’s World Mental Health Day! (October 10th.) So I thought it might be useful to compile mental health resources for the Jewish community into one post. If you know of any that aren’t listed, please feel free to add them.

RELIEF – connects/refers Jewish people to therapists and other
mental health resources (focuses mainly on the frum community)

Elijah’s Journey – suicide prevention for the Jewish community (Facebook page)


The Aleph Institute
– provides spiritual support for Jews in
institutional environments such as prison, health facilities, and
rehab


No Shame On U
– aims to de-stigmatize mental illness by providing
comprehensive education


OHEL
– comprehensive services for those facing mental health issues, with professionals fluent in English, Yiddish, and Hebrew

Yad Rachel – for mothers facing postpartum depression, also helps educate family and health providers

Shema Koli – support for victims of abuse

Frum Support Forums – for mental and physical health

(NY) The Jewish Board – provides services for a number of things, including crisis support, supportive housing, and mental health services.

Torah and the Twelve Steps – spiritual-based rehab for those recovering from substance abuse

(UK) Jewish Helpline – 

0800 652 9249

(Mexico) Jewish Crisis Line – 

1118

(The two following aren’t specifically mental health resources, but I still felt they were important to add.)

A list of Jewish LGBT+ organizations

Keshet – Jewish LGBT+ educational resources

Many cities also have Jewish Family Services, which will often be able to refer you to a therapist or other local resources.

Some peoole blow my mind

That slut in the booty shorts buying a Mickey pretzel was me

Adults like this are why millenials won’t have kids

tbh it doesn’t even sound like she’s mad at childless people. It seems like she’s angry because she’s envious– she keeps mentioning the fact that she has to chase her kid and how cranky he was and so on. She just seems like she’s projecting her issues with motherhood onto someone else. 

Oh dude that’s literally what being mad at childless people -is-

when-did-this-become-difficult:

Eddie Brock was an unemployed white guy who just got broken up with living in a crappy apartment due to the power of an evil guy mostly out of his control…and yet I never got that weird itchy feeling about him because instead of turning his misfortune into resentment against the world, he just put his head down and went about his business, maintaining friendly bantery friendships with random women across the city, respecting his ex’s wishes, and that’s why I loved and trusted him, because I knew even before any Superhero Decisions came up that he was a good guy

They look like cops, but they’re not. And they’re all over Michigan.

“They have guns, wear badges and patrol Michigan’s streets.

They’re even in uniform. But they’re not real cops.

Across Michigan, police departments have enlisted civilians to work alongside licensed officers to patrol communities and even assist real cops with arrests. But unlike the regular officers licensed by the state, these armed civilians are unregulated.

A Detroit Free Press investigation found there are no state-established training requirements for reserve officers, as they are commonly known; no standards for screening their qualifications, and no process for monitoring their conduct. The state agency responsible for police licensing and training is not regulating reserve officers — despite gaining authority last year to do just that — and has no idea how many such unlicensed volunteers there are statewide.”
