RefaenuLogo_WithTagline_small

Refa’enu is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that was formed as a means to provide the Jewish community with education about and support for those affected by depression and bipolar disorder as well as other behavioral health issues. This includes people who themselves have these mood disorders, as well as their loved ones. This mission is being achieved via educational outreach and through continued management of peer-led support groups for people with mood disorders and for their loved ones. The ultimate goal is to, by providing such education and support, assist these individuals on an ongoing basis toward better mental health management of these disorders, as well as educate the general Jewish population and decrease disorder-related stigma that may impede proper care and management.
