6:30 pm - 7:30 pm

Mental illness affects many people and families in our community. Congregation Emanu El welcomes Michael Wiesenthal on Thursday, May 14, to discuss his personal experiences, including his life-long struggles with mental health. He will be joined by Anna Ashburn, Clinician for The Shalva Project, and the two will hold space to help participants understand that is it not a sign of weakness but a sign of strength for those talking about this important topic.

Please note: This event features a speaker sharing their personal experiences with mental health and well-being, including periods of significant challenge. The discussion will include sensitive or potentially distressing topics. A brief Q&A session will follow the talk and may touch on related themes. 

If you have questions about the event content or would like information about support resources, please contact Anna Ashburn.
