Welcome to our 20th episode of DMC! In this episode, we sit down with Zahava List to discuss mental health. She shares with us her own journey to mental health, her perspectives on stigma surrounding mental health in the frum community, and how and why she founded Chazkeinu, an organization which provides chizuk for all Jewish women coping with mental illness. By the end of today’s episode, we hope you come away feeling inspired by one woman’s mental health journey and have developed a greater awareness about the mental health issues facing so many of us in our communities.

In this episode of DMC you’ll hear:

Zahava’s personal mental health journey
How she filled a communal need by founding Chazkeinu
The roles of peer-led mental health support and professional guidance
The stigma surrounding mental health in the frum community – how far we’ve come and what work we have left to do
First steps for someone embarking on his or her mental health journey
