It can feel like we are back in the wilderness. In a recent CDC survey, 18- to 24-year-olds reported the highest levels of symptoms of anxiety and depression, and a quarter of them said they had seriously considered suicide. 

At Hillel we are teaching resilience and empowering our students to lean into community when they need to be reminded of who they are. 

We would like to invite you to join us for our next mental health and well-being program, Building a Resilient Generation on April 7th at 7pm via zoom. 

Learn to expand your mental health knowledge as our guest speakers provide a clear framework for understanding resilience and how our Jewish traditions inform how we can build resilience for ourselves and others.

Hosted by Julie Datnow, LMFT, member of Hillel of San Diego’s Board of Directors. Guest speakers include:

* Jory Hanselman Mayschak, Executive Director, BaMidBar Wilderness Therapy

* Rabbi Scott Meltzer, Ohr Shalom Synagogue, and Lecturer, SDSU Religious Studies

* Skilled Hillel staff trained in well-being support

* Lindsay Palm, SDSU Student Leader, Class of 2022

Hope you can join us in our pursuit to support a resilient generation!
