Confronting Mental Health Skepticism in Torah Communities

At the recent Therapy Should Work event, Rabbi Avi Landa of Amudim spoke out about the stigma, skepticism, and serious financial barriers preventing our community from accessing life-saving mental health care. We can’t wait for crises to justify care. Access must be proactive, not reactive. The conversation is growing—but so is the need. Let’s fight for a future where therapy isn’t a luxury, it’s a lifeline. #TherapyShouldWork #MentalHealthMatters #FrumMentalHealth #AviLanda #Amudim #JewishMentalHealth #AccessToCare
