ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Adir Academy will be the nation’s first Jewish therapeutic day school in U.S. for students with mental health challenges

Therapeutic schools are highly effective at serving students with significant mental health needs, such as anxiety, depression, OCD, emotional dysregulation, and/or a history of suicidal ideation or self-injurious behaviors.
For a family already struggling with the pain and fear that comes with helping their child through a mental health crisis, the lack of a Jewish educational option for their child compounds the family’s suffering. For the child, the message that the Jewish community has no place for them can be devastating and have lifelong impacts.
