What We Do​

The Jewish Social Work Consortium 

• We advocate for ethical consistency, cultural humility, and nondiscrimination across the helping professions.
• We challenge antizionism and all forms of hate, exclusion, scapegoating, and identity-based harm within mental health, academic, nonprofit, and professional spaces.
• We publish academic, educational, and reflective writing that brings greater visibility to the experiences of Jewish and Israeli clinicians, clients, students, and communities.
• We support practitioners navigating hostile, alienating, or ethically compromising professional environments.
• We create space for authentic, complex Jewish voices without tokenization, ideological litmus tests, or pressure to fragment parts of identity in order to belong.
• We educate professionals and organizations about antisemitism, antizionism, psychological safety, and the impact of moral exclusion within clinical and institutional settings.
• We offer consultation, resource connection, advocacy, and interdisciplinary collaboration to individuals and organizations seeking ethically grounded guidance and support.
• We release public statements and engage in professional dialogue regarding issues affecting Jewish professionals, clients, and other minority groups.
• We affirm that the foundational principles of social work, including ethical care, cultural humility, dignity, and the commitment to do no harm, apply to everyone without exception.

We are committed to helping restore ethical integrity, professional courage, and human dignity within social work and mental health.
