Mental Health Shabbat is this Shabbat– 19th-20th January 2024.
The event aims to encourage conversations about mental health, raise awareness of mental illness and share ideas on how to support ourselves and others in our community.
It’s a perfect time to connect with other people who you’re close to, or those who are part of your community.
You could reach out to people you’ve been thinking of but haven’t been in contact with. It’s a great reason to invite someone to Shabbat dinner, or to organise a walk on Saturday morning.
You could spend some time reflecting on your own mental health and focus on self-care activities.
