New psychology training program aims to combat antisemitism in mental health care

A new psychology training program is being launched by psychologists Miri Bar-Halpern and Dean in response to rising antisemitism in mental health care. The initiative aims to equip future clinicians with the knowledge and skills necessary to better support Jewish patients who may face discrimination and isolation within the mental health system.

This effort highlights the growing concerns among Jewish therapists and clients regarding antisemitism in mental health, emphasizing the importance of understanding and addressing these challenges within clinical practice.
