This is the second part of our conversation with Yohai Hakak, senior social work lecturer and MSc lead at Brunel University, London. If you haven't listened to the previous episode then do go back and have a listen!

The episode begins with Yohai talking about his PhD subject, going on to share his experience working as a mental health social worker back in Israel where he was born and raised. 

He shares insights from his work at a psychiatric hospital in Jerusalem as well as discussing a journal article he wrote on the involvement of social services in interfaith marriages. 

A fascinating listen.


Read Yohai's research article, 'Battling Against Interfaith Relations in Israel: Religion, Therapy, and Social Services'.

This episode was hosted and produced by Sharmeen Ziauddin, careers editor at Community Care.
