Jewish professionals are uniquely situated to create positive environments where not only Jewish learning, but also mental health and wellness, can flourish. Mental, Emotional, and Social Health for Experiential Educators (MESH-EE) helps Jewish professionals expand their understanding of mental health and wellness through experiential education and a Jewish lens, in order to actively promote resilience in themselves and their learners.
Come to connect, grow & play. Leave with new tools to set boundaries, prioritize your wellness, & support yourself in emotionally charged work.
