The third annual Community Mental Health Awareness Shabbat, spearheaded by Congregation Tifereth Beth David Jerusalem Congregation in Côte Saint-Luc, will take place May 6 to 9. It will be fully virtual, with a Mental Health Symposium on Thursday evening, a Friday workshop for high school students and a Sunday morning Mental Health workshop. This has spread to cities across North America.This program coincides with Canadian Mental Health Week (https://mentalhealthweek.ca). I speak with Dr. Rachel Goodman and Yair Meyers, the program co-chairs, who provide a good preview.

Registration for these events (high school is limited to students) is free and you must log on to www.mentalhealth.tbdj.org. For more details you can email [email protected].
