    Jonah, thank you for sharing this important message and information. In this day and age of connectivity via technology, reaching out with real human interaction is of the utmost importance. Your work, the work of Capital Camps and Jewish Camp in general are more vital now then ever.

    Dear Jonah, As usual, your insights and vision are paramount to our people’s future. Thank you for providing facts and emotion to a vital need in our community. Capital Camps are fortunate to have you leading the way and making a major impact on the lucky campers, their families and the staff. Now let’s own this problem as a community!!

    Thank you so much for writing this piece. As someone who recently lost a loved one to suicide, I deeply appreciate shining light on this issue. However I would like to encourage the author to examine his use of the phrase “committed suicide,” which perpetuates the stigma and perception that suicide is a crime, something done by bad people. See here (and many other resources are available online) for more info: https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/09/health/suicide-language-words-matter/index.html

    I’m very sorry for using that term. A colleague taught me this earlier today as well – I was not aware. I very much appreciate you posting your thoughts.

    Jonah – kol hakavod on this very personal and moving piece you shared. It’s amazing to see the students standing together and creating umttr in response to Evan’s death. The more stories around mental health that are shared, the more people are aware of the need for awareness and education in the Jewish community and beyond.

    I would also like to share that The Blue Dove Foundation (https://thebluedovefoundation.org) was started last summer in Atlanta (we plan to grow nationally quickly) as a way to help address the issues of Mental Health and/or Substance Abuse in the Jewish community. The topic of mental health and substance abuse is one that is often not discussed in the Jewish community. Many individuals and their families are suffering privately and lack the information necessary to address their struggles. The Blue Dove Foundation is working towards advancing these conversations, eradicating the stigma and shame, educating the Jewish community as well as helping to overcome the financial barriers of seeking treatment.
