About So Healthy Together
In fall 2018, VBS launched a community initiative addressing issues that are becoming more public and prevalent surrounding Mental Health and Wellness.
Mental illness affects one out of every five adults in the United States. We at Valley Beth Shalom are touched by this disease as well. We launched our "So Healthy Together" initiative - to address the causes of mental illness and to form a strong VBS community to give support and healing to those who are in need.
