Professional Development
Overview
BaMidbar maximizes impact through Professional Development programs for youth and young-adult-serving Jewish community professionals, which help build a resilient and thriving Jewish community that actively supports its members in achieving mental wellness.
BaMidbar’s Professional Development programs focus on mental health literacy, experiential education as a tool for social and emotional learning, Jewish perspectives on wellness, and educator empowerment and self-care.
Programming is delivered through retreats, stand-alone training, workshops, and online courses.
Through BaMidbar’s education programs, Jewish professionals build the knowledge, skills, and confidence to:
- Promote healthy social and emotional development for all of the youth they serve.
- Recognize when youth are at risk of experiencing mental health challenges.
- Intervene early and appropriately when mental health challenges arise.
- Create Jewish learning experiences through a whole-health wellness lens.
- Integrate trauma-informed frameworks and build mental health capacity at the organizational level.
