Mental Health Resources
The office has compiled a list of mental health professionals in our community who are available for initial consultation. If you or a family member have a question about coping during this difficult time, the shul can provide you with contact information. The professionals on this list specialize in working with elder adults, adults, parents, young adults, teens and children with specialties ranging from depression and anxiety to suicide prevention and neuropsychology. Some are licensed in Maryland and may be available for treatment but all of them are willing to speak with you about any current challenge related to COVID-19 and the challenges it presents.
Thursday, March 18th @ 8:00 PM: Seminar on "Mindfulness for Social Distancing" by Beth Schoen and Sara Solomon.
