Brave Talks is a platform that privileges the wisdom of lived experience. A mental health advocacy initiative created in partnership with JCA The Choice Foundation and Jewish Care, Brave Talks provides a trauma-informed safe space to deepen our understanding and acknowledgement of mental health challenges. By hearing one another and healing through our human connection; we can continue to challenge stigma, break cycles of shame, enable proactive help-seeking and ultimately support the well-being of our community.

Join us this Brave Talks as we continue to bring stories into light that would otherwise remain hidden.

Introducing our Speakers

Mor Lacob 
Just 24 hours after Mor's first child was born, he was diagnosed with a rare and dangerous heart condition, requiring life-saving open-heart surgery at just 6 days old. This intense and emotional experience profoundly shaped Mor's early days of motherhood, leaving her to navigate deep fears, anxiety, and a difficult struggle to bond with her baby. After a long journey of healing, reflection, and learning, Mor will share her powerful story and the valuable lessons that taught her we are ultimately responsible for shaping and owning our own narrative.

 

Jessica Abelsohn 
At the age of 26, Jessica’s mother was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Despite taking on a carer role for her mother, planning a wedding around her mother’s terminal diagnosis, and coming to terms with the lifetime of grief she would face, Jessica vowed that her mother’s passing would not be in vain. Instead, it set her and her family on a path to change the pancreatic cancer landscape for others impacted.
