dc.description.abstract | No published research to date has investigated the mental health experiences of Orthodox
Jewish adolescents in the UK, although anecdotally, the Jewish mental health community is
aware of the prevalence of mental health difficulties amongst young people. This lack of
research highlights a serious gap in how to best support this population in the community
and in mainstream services. As a first step into this fieldMIR of study, this research explored
the experiences of seven London-based Orthodox Jewish female therapists offering talking
therapy to strictly Orthodox Jewish (Chareidi) female adolescents in the private sector, using
semi-structured interviews. An interpretative phenomenological analysis of the interview
data identified several themes: The therapists navigated personal and professional overlap
when working within their own community, dealt with blurred boundaries, and managed
the complexities of confidentiality within a close-knit community context. Furthermore, their
therapeutic practice was culturally informed, and they applied cultural sensitivity with their
clients. The therapists talked about how they helped Chareidi Gen Z on their journey to
adulthood and how they experienced both feeling connected to their clients, and feeling
disconnected when values were at odds with each other. The implications from this study
included the need to engage Orthodox Jewish adolescents in future research so that their
voices can be captured, the importance of continuing to increase culturally sensitive mental
health promotion, education, and provision within the Chareidi community, and for
mainstream services to facilitate access for the Chareidi community by prioritising culturally
informed practices and community partnership work. | en_US |
