Resiliency Radio Podcast with Rabbi Rachel Hersh
We’re excited to share that JSSA’s Director of Jewish Enrichment and Engagement, Rabbi Rachel Hersh, has launched a new podcast, Resiliency Radio! Through engaging conversations with leaders, clinicians, staff, and others connected to JSSA, the podcast explores how we build resilience—our ability to adapt to life’s changes and challenges—and how we nurture mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being throughout our community.
Episode #3 – Conversation with Matt Biel, M.D. M.Sc.
In Episode #3, Rabbi Rachel sits down with Matt Biel, Professor and Vice Chair and Division Chief of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital. This powerful discussion focuses on trauma, as well as the impact that social media and access to widespread technology have on our daily mental health.

Episode two focuses on teen wellness. Rabbi Rachel Hersh speaks with the participants and facilitators of JSSA’s July teen Mental Health First Aid training. Teen participants and JSSA staff share insights about their own experiences with mental health challenges and how the training helps them support others while growing stronger themselves. Thanks for tuning in and for helping us to reach those in need of support.
