Now is the Moment to Put Mental Health First


Mental health remains one of the most pressing health crises of our time, with added challenges like rising antisemitism, economic uncertainty and global instability only intensifying the strain on our community. This is especially true for our teens and young adults, who are navigating these turbulent times with increasing anxiety and uncertainty.

At The Associated, we recognize that mental well-being is not just an individual concern – it’s a community-wide priority.

We are deeply committed to providing comprehensive resources and support to ensure the mental well-being of every member of our community. Through counseling services, mental health workshops and peer support groups, we offer tailored solutions that address the unique needs of each person, ensuring that no one has to face their challenges alone.

So, where do we, as individuals, parents and community members, go from here?

If this is a true emergency, do not wait; call 911 or go the nearest emergency room.

In the next several years, we will face many unforeseen challenges – like today’s mental health crisis. While our community begins its recovery, the collateral damage of the pandemic will come into focus and your gift to The Associated will set us on the right track to build back a healthier and stronger Baltimore Jewish community.
