During Mental Health Awareness Month, Moving Traditions invites parents and educators of Jewish youth to join us for a conversation about how to best support teen well-being, resilience, and mental health.
Rabbi Daniel Brenner will sit down with Dr. Jess Shatkin, a leading child and adolescent psychiatrist at NYU, and teen activists focused on mental health. We will share trends among Jewish teens and how we can support their well-being through Jewish identity and community.
We will be asking difficult questions like:
- How can we teach our teens the skills they need to be resilient in the face of adversity?
- What does the spectrum between well-being and mental health look like? How can you know if a teen needs professional support?
- How can parents support their own mental well-being and model healthy living for the teens in their lives?
Following the one-hour discussion, we invite participants to stay connected for an optional “after-party” where they can network, share reflections, and continue the conversation among other parents and educators.
