Antisemitism: What Mental Health Professionals Need to Know

Friday, June 13, 2025

1pm-4pm
(see time breakdown below)

with Dr. Liya Levanda, PsyD

3 CE credits

Online Via Zoom

(link will be sent in confirmation and reminder emails)

Description

Antisemitism, or discrimination and hate towards Jewish people, is considered one of the world’s oldest forms of hatred. With the evolution of society, media, and violence in the Middle East, antisemitism has evolved alongside; making it more difficult to identify, understand, and combat. In the U.S. in 2022, antisemitic incidents accounted for more than half of religion-based hate crimes despite Jews representing only 2% of the U.S. population (FBI, 2022). Antisemitic incidents have skyrocketed globally since October 7th and the following Israel-Hamas war, with the U.S. reporting a 388% increase in the two weeks after October 7th compared to the same time last year (ADL, 2023). The insidious nature of antisemitism, as with many forms of discrimination and hatred, brings severe detriment to Jews around the world. The mental health of Jewish patients in therapeutic spaces can be particularly impacted, but many clinicians report a lack of knowledge and accompanying discomfort in addressing issues around antisemitism with Jewish clients.

Educational Goals

Participants of this training will walk away with a foundational yet thorough knowledge of antisemitism and how it can manifest within society. Namely, participants will become intimately familiar with how antisemitism can impact the mental health of their Jewish patients and how it can interfere with therapy. Armed with this knowledge, attendees will then be able to become an ally for their Jewish patients and know what to do in response to antisemitism in the therapeutic or professional space.

Learning Objectives

At the end of this presentation, attendees will be able to:

1. Define antisemitism, identifying three ways antisemitism can manifest in society, media, and politics.
2. Name 5 potential impacts of antisemitism on mental health, particularly through the lens of community and generational trauma.
3. Identify three effective responses and tools to address antisemitism in professional and clinical contexts.

Presenter

Dr. Liya Levanda, PsyD (she/her) is a licensed clinical psychologist, speaker, and social justice advocate with a modern perspective on Jewish issues, particularly antisemitism, as they pertain to clinical psychology. With over a decade of experience advocating for Jewish issues, Dr. Levanda is committed to a future of psychology that combats all forms of discrimination and hatred, including antisemitism. Her insights are shaped by both her professional expertise and her lived experience as a Jewish Israeli-American. Dr. Levanda’s sought-after work spans local, national, and international platforms, where she leads presentations and workshops that empower individual clinicians and large organizations alike. She equips audiences with knowledge, background, and practical strategies needed for fostering inclusive, culturally sensitive care. Grounded in the belief that there’s no such thing as a dumb question, Dr. Levanda advocates for open, compassionate dialogue and education as essential steps in cultivating one’s social justice advocacy to truly be inclusive of all.
