Happy World Mental Health Day from WJC! 💛

Our walkway got a little brighter today. Students, faculty, and staff picked up the chalk and filled the path with messages of hope, encouragement, and reminders that it’s okay to not be okay.

Mental health care starts with community, and we’re proud to be surrounded by people who show up for each other every single day.

What message would you have chalked? Tell us in the comments. 👇

Did you know that William James College is launching the first Jewish Mental Health concentration in the country?

The new program reflects growing recognition that Jewish identity, antisemitism, and wellbeing are interconnected, and that mental health professionals need the tools to understand and address these experiences.

The concentration was informed, in part, by work with Academic Engagement Network and will bring together educators, clinicians, and community leaders to explore the impact of antisemitism on Jewish life and resilience.

As part of the launch reception on October 28, Melissa Garlick, AVP of CJP's Center for Combating Antisemitism, will join leading mental health professionals to offer a community perspective on these issues.
