Jewish youth today face unprecedented challenges to their mental, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being. As professionals who care deeply about young people, their growth and resilience, we want to respond with knowledge, compassion, and action. Join professionals from across the Jewish youth-serving field for two impactful days of learning and community focused on the mental wellness of Jewish youth.
Youth Centered Mental Wellness for Today's Jewish World will feature expert-led workshops and learning sessions to help you help young people thrive. Whether you work in camps, congregations, JCCs, youth groups, or other Jewish spaces, this event is designed for you. Experience:
- Two full days of programming (or join us for one!) with deep dives into mental, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being
- Learning with leading experts in mental health and Jewish education
- Building community with colleagues who share your commitment to youth wellness to build supportive professional networks
Leave with practical, actionable strategies to take home to strengthen mental wellness in your programs and organizations.
All youth-facing professionals are invited to attend, including, but not limited to, those working in camping, campus life, congregations, day schools, community centers, education, mental health, schools, synagogues, and more!
Select sessions will offer NYS Continuing Education (CE) credits for social workers, thanks to a partnership with UJA-Federation New York.
