The EmpowerEd Mental Health Summit, held this past Sunday, drew over 500 attendees for training, collaboration, and networking, in collaboration with Ray of Hope, Amudim, Touro University, and MASK. Participants flew in from multiple states, with representation from Monsey, Brooklyn, Baltimore, and across the tri-state area. The event was attended by over 100 Rabbanim, alongside a distinguished group of medical doctors and mental health professionals, reflecting a multidisciplinary approach.

This summit marked the launch of a biannual platform designed to foster collaboration among psychotherapists, psychiatric providers, medical doctors, and Rabbanim. Each summit provides 10 CEUs, enabling participants to complete the 40 CEUs required over a two-year cycle, with the next summit planned in six months.

Avi Schnall shared by the summit that a New Jersey State Senator who reviewed the full program was deeply impressed by its scope and impact, underscoring the significance of this initiative for the broader community.
