Because Sex & Pornography addiction is highly stigmatized and not regularly spoken about in many faith based communities, we are often left without the proper education about what addiction really means. What is the difference between curiosity / normal exploratory behaviors and addiction? How does shame contribute to this problem? What can we do as a community to support this common challenge? This #mentalhealthmonday (originally aired on January 13th, 2020) Yankie Greenberger, LCSW discussed the roles of pornography use and sexual addiction as it relates to religiousness and moral incongruence.

Esther Schwarz LSW, MSW and Rabbi Shais Taub went live in Instagram together to discuss a very misunderstood and highly sensitive topic, "What does Honoring your Parents Really Mean?" In the Jewish Community, halacha (code of law) can be interpreted in so many ways and if not looked at by the right person and with the right lens can be "misdiagnosed". Rabbis, like Doctors, have specialties. They also cannot give proper advice without knowing the full picture and often knowing family background is crucial to paskening (giving direction on the law). Knowing how to ask the question is also really important. Honoring parents is considered one of the hardest mitzvot in the Torah and often has mental health implications attached to it. Kibud Av V'Eim is easily misinterpreted as "listening to your parents". That is NOT what it means. Knowing what your obligations REALLY are is the key to success. Watch this video to find out more. Rabbi Shais Taub is a noted speaker, author, and columnist, who serves as scholar-in-residence of Chabad of the Five Towns. His talks and classes may be seen on www.SoulWords.org . Esther Schwarz is a Holistic & Spiritual Psychotherapist focusing on Inner Child work and utilizing Trauma Informed Therapy and Narrative & Somatic therapy. Her practice is in Toms River, NJ and she is available for speaking engagements. Project Proactive was honored to be asked to record this live. Thanks Esther for your continued partnership!

Everyone has a story to tell. Stories connect us. Stories make it easier for others to be open with their own stories. On March 25, 2019 Eli Nash, co-founder of Mic Drop, joined us for #mentalhealthmonday to share his story and empower others to dig for the gold in their own story. Eli shared his inspirational story of growth and healing from trauma using the power of storytelling and learning to create meaning in struggle. "There's an amazing shift that happened inside of me when I began using my story to influence change, inspire others and be a part of creating the world I would like to see... When we are able to create something positive from our experiences, it provides meaning to them. The greatest healing in the world is meaning. The experience of being abused suddenly meant something; it wasn't some random event that I needed to spend the rest of my life feeling sorry for. Instead it became an event that I look back at that was very purposeful and intentional. I was chosen to make a change for others in this one area of life." - Eli Nash Project Proactive is a grassroots volunteer initiative to build community, raise awareness, normalize the conversation, and break stigmas surrounding all things mental health.
