Keshev empowers teens, young adults, and those that work with them to strengthen their wellbeing and mental health.
With an interdisciplinary methodology and holistic approach, we offer multiple services to support healthy social-emotional development, including mental health certification, individual counseling, group workshops, and organizational consulting. We aim to create a positive culture and environment through every program where staff and participants feel supported and cared for.
Every year tens of thousands of teens and young adults participate in immersive and educational experiences in Israel through Masa. These programs often strive to facilitate the participants’ connections to Judaism, Israel and one another while developing a healthier sense of self. Exploring one’s identity coupled with the sensitivities and sensibilities of this formative stage of development in a foreign context, provides a greater susceptibility to mental health concerns and it is in this context that Keshev and Masa would like to create a culture and offer a standard that allows students and staff to truly thrive. It is in this context that Masa, seeing itself as the pioneer in the field of Mental health on Experiential programs will be offering through Keshev many different opportunities for the programs to create a safer and healthier space for every Masa Fellow.
