This year marks the 23rd year of the Twin Cities Jewish Community Annual Conference on Mental Health to be held on Sunday, October 22, 2023, from 9:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at Temple Israel in Minneapolis. The conference is produced by Jewish Family and Children’s Service of Minneapolis (JFCS) and Jewish Family Services of St. Paul (JFS) partners in improving mental health access, understanding, and education in the community.

With generous support from community donors and partners, the conference as always continues to be free and open to everyone.

The visible and invisible impacts on mental health are vast and require profound attention, support, and advocacy. In planning for this conference, we think of a kaleidoscope representing the emotions, perspectives, ideas, challenges, and hopefully a sign of unity. The kaleidoscope as an art form that speaks to the eyes and minds of the beholder.

Our keynote speaker will be announced soon. Breakout sessions this year will focus on youth, suicidality, addiction, finding balance, and combating loneliness and isolation.
