Temple Aliyah’s Mental Health Initiative (MHI) is comprised primarily of passionate mental health professionals. Formed in May 2017, our goal is to lessen the stigma around any kind of mental or behavioral health issues or social-emotional challenges and bring community and caring to those dealing with these challenges.
If you are going through a difficult time, Temple Aliyah wants to be here to help and offer what we can: a community of caring friends, a shoulder to lean on, and a hand ready to reach out to you. Whether it is spiritual support from our clergy, understanding and tips from other members who have “been there,” or a place of peace surrounded by your community, Temple Aliyah is here for you.
Please know that our clergy are eager to be supportive of anyone who needs help or guidance. If you would like to be contacted by either Interim Rabbi Leslie Gordon or Cantor Jamie Gloth, please call the synagogue office at 781-444-8522.
We are proud to present our online Resource Guide (PDF file, which will download to your computer or open in a new window or tab, depending on your browser settings). We hope you find it a compassionate and comprehensive guide, especially if you are first starting out on your journey or are simply at a loss as to where to turn.
If you would like to get involved with the MHI or have any questions, please contact MHI@templealiyah.com.
