The Jewish Community Mental Health Education Project was established in 2004 and has the following goals:

• Increase awareness of mental health concerns and decrease stigma in the Jewish community.
• Provide resources and educational programming for Jewish schools, agencies, organizations, and synagogues to assist them as they interact with families and individuals dealing with mental health concerns.
• Help to reduce the isolation of Jewish individuals and families dealing with mental illness by creating a caring community.

Project activities are directed by a planning committee with representation from coalition members and the community.
