Beit R’fuah and Congregation Beth Am invite you to view the “House of Healing,” a beautiful and powerful documentary film that exemplifies how synagogues can create mental health friendly congregations by de-stigmatizing mental illness.
Beit R'fuah (House of Healing) is a mental health support group for individuals and families at Congregation Beth Am in Los Altos Hills, California. The purpose of Beit R’fuah is to address mental health issues among congregants by providing a safe, compassionate and supportive environment in which to share personal experiences and receive support from fellow participants. Beit R’fuah organizers hope that other synagogues will adopt a similar model of mental health support for their congregations.
