Neshamos
Mental Health Support
Crown Heights, Brooklyn, NY, USA
Neshamos is a mental health and emotional well-being initiative dedicated to supporting the Orthodox Jewish community through education, awareness, and direct support. Their mission focuses on breaking the stigma surrounding mental health by promoting open conversations and creating safe, supportive environments. They provide both preventative and crisis-oriented resources, empowering individuals and families to face emotional challenges with strength and dignity.
One of the primary services Neshamos offers is its helpline, staffed by licensed mental health professionals who offer guidance, support, and referrals to those struggling with emotional distress or navigating mental health challenges. They also provide a wide range of educational workshops and events, designed for schools, parents, and community leaders. These presentations address topics such as anxiety, depression, suicide prevention, and fostering emotional resilience, all tailored to the sensitivities and needs of the frum world.
In addition, Neshamos offers mentorship programs and support groups for youth and families. These programs help individuals feel less isolated by connecting them with trained volunteers and peers who understand their struggles. The organization also works proactively with educators and yeshivos to create emotionally safe environments, guiding school staff on best practices in student support and crisis response.
Neshamos also prioritizes resource development, curating materials and publishing content that helps families and educators respond to emotional challenges with empathy and effectiveness. By partnering with professionals and rabbanim, they ensure that all guidance aligns with both clinical standards and Torah values.
