An Evening with Mayim Bialik: Teen Mental Health Crisis is Our Crisis Too

Mayim Bialik is an award-winning actress, podcast host, neuroscientist, author, and mental health advocate. Join us as Mayim and her partner, Jonathan Cohen, record an episode for their podcast, Mayim Bialik’s Breakdown, as well as answer questions from our Senior Rabbi, Rabbi Nicole Guzik.

Why Mayim Bialik is Captivating Audiences:

Mayim Bialik delivers engaging and deeply personal talks on mental health, drawing from her own experiences, as well as her expertise as a neuroscientist. With honesty and empathy, she shares insights into the complexities of mental well-being — debunking common myths and stigmas, promoting self-care strategies, and advocating for accessible mental health resources for all. Her unique perspective as both an advocate and a scientist brings a profound depth to her message, inspiring audiences to prioritize mental wellness and support others in their mental health journeys.

A product of Jewish Federation scholarships, Bialik stands firmly rooted in her Jewish heritage and values, straddling the worlds of both traditional religious observance and progressive social justice initiatives. An in-demand speaker among federations, synagogues, and college Jewish organizations she shares how this commitment to her faith has shaped her life and career in an increasingly secular world. Her experiences as a Jewish community leader date back to her college days and exemplify her long-standing connection to the Jewish people and dedication to making a positive impact as a proud and vocal Jewish woman.
