Illuminating the Darkness: Mental Health Awareness and Healing in the Jewish Community
Description
When Hadassah Zirkind, founder of A Drop of Light, shared her story with us, the conversation was charged with a raw, transformative energy that only true vulnerability unleashes. We journeyed together through her experiences with self-harm, suicide, and the relentless grip of mental illness—unveiling her unspoken battles with anxiety and depression, magnified by the trials of prenatal and postpartum changes. Hadassah's courage in seeking help and her resolve to foster candid conversations on mental health are paving a path of hope for caregivers, community leaders, and anyone touched by similar struggles.
From understanding suicidal ideation to strengthening community connections, this episode stands as a beacon of support, an invitation to dialogue, and a testament to the strength that emerges when one dares to share their darkest moments in search of a drop of light.
