The mental health crisis feels like it is all around us. From anxious teens with social media to all-time highs in adult lonliness, this is a topic hits all of us in different ways. 

This week Rabbi Pont talks to Dr. Dara Gasior to discuss the challenges and opportunities in both getting and giving help, along with the many ways that mental health treatment crosses over with our biblical texts.

Don't miss a special bonus segment with Colts Neck High School junior Charlotte Zlotnik, a board member with the teen mental health organization HereNow, who wrote an inspiring article entitled Overcoming Life's Obstacles: Lessons learned from an Israeli Hostage.
