UNDERSTANDING

Since October 7th, Jewish people in Switzerland have also been under exceptionally high pressure. Depending on the person and the duration, this pressure can significantly impact mental health. Perception, thinking, and behavior become compressed. Sleep, appetite, and pleasure can also suffer as a result.

The diagram below is intended to simply illustrate the four most common behavioral reactions to overwhelming stress. These behaviors are the result of problems, not their solution.

We warmly invite all people of Jewish descent to participate in our discussion format LET’S TALK, where we can talk about our experiences and work together to find a healthy way of coping.
