“Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.”
— William James

🇺🇸 American Icons

William James was an American philosopher, psychologist, and one of the leading intellectual figures of the 19th century. He is often called the father of American psychology and helped shape modern thought through his work on pragmatism, human behavior, and the power of belief. His ideas continue to influence philosophy, education, and psychology.

We are deeply grateful to our funders, partners, volunteers, and communities for continuing to support our mission. This is an investment in healthier, stronger, and more connected communities.

Did you know that William James College is launching the first Jewish Mental Health concentration in the country?

The new program reflects growing recognition that Jewish identity, antisemitism, and wellbeing are interconnected, and that mental health professionals need the tools to understand and address these experiences.

The concentration was informed, in part, by work with Academic Engagement Network and will bring together educators, clinicians, and community leaders to explore the impact of antisemitism on Jewish life and resilience.

As part of the launch reception on October 28, Melissa Garlick, AVP of CJP's Center for Combating Antisemitism, will join leading mental health professionals to offer a community perspective on these issues.

Today is !

The holiday, which originated in Galveston, Texas, in 1865, commemorates the end of slavery in the United States. This day represents freedom and justice for Black Americans and serves as an opportunity for all of us to educate ourselves about the continued impact of trauma caused by slavery.

Today, we’re focusing on uplifting Black voices in mental health by highlighting Black-led mental health organizations. We hope you’ll celebrate Juneteenth by supporting their work. ♥️
