About Us - Our History

NEFESH was founded in 1992, to bring Orthodox Jewish professionals and rabbis together to address mental health issues that we deal with daily on a professional and communal level. We have since grown to over 750 members worldwide, including United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Israel, Brazil, Belgium and Argentina. Between three and four hundred people have attended each of our fourteen annual conferences, which have taken place in New York, Miami, Baltimore, Norfolk and Israel. Our rabbinic advisors, led by Rav Dovid Cohen, Moreh D'Asrah, and Rabbi Abraham Twerski, M.D. ZT"L, and our rabbinic liaison, Rabbi Tzvi Hersh Weinreb, Ph.D., provide guidance on issues that affect us as mental health professionals.

Who We Are

NEFESH International, now in its thirtieth-year, is an interdisciplinary organization of Orthodox Jewish mental health professionals providing leadership and integrative education in the field of personal, family, and community mental health. With over 1000 members worldwide, our growing and diverse constituency are Torah-observant psychologists, social workers, psychiatrists, mental health counselors, marriage and family therapists, psychiatric nurses, chemical dependency counselors, psychotherapists, guidance and pastoral counselors, and graduate students. Affiliates include Rabbanim, mechanchim, attorneys, social service agencies, and allied professionals.
