THE MORDECHAI FACHLER MENTAL HEALTH TRAINING PROGRAMME
Training To Support The JEWISH Community’s Wellbeing
When our dear friend Rabbi Mordechai Fachler passed away, he not only left a huge hole in our lives, but we were also deprived of one of the community’s shining stars in the field of mental health. We feel his loss to this day. Project Lily’s work is perfectly aligned with the approach and values that Mordechai exemplified and, with the help of our kind supporters and good friends of Mordechai, we are proud to dedicate our training work in his memory.
A CHOICE OF 4 ONLINE COURSES
As well as training our organisational partners, we also offer FREE, CPD accredited training to individuals. This training not only helps you identify and respond to your own wellbeing and mental health issues, but also equips you to support anyone you encounter who may be struggling.
Each stand-alone session lasts under an hour – perfect for a lunch-break or a quiet evening.
Delivered via Zoom, all participants may join anonymously if they want.

What’s with all the training? Well, in addition to yourself, it’s likely you spend meaningful time with friends, family, or colleagues every week. Research shows that some of these people, though functioning normally on the outside, will be really struggling on the inside. Our training provides the knowledge and skills needed to respond, so you can prevent things escalating and literally change lives.
The wellbeing landscape is darker than ever due to the aftermath of Covid, the cost-of-living crisis, the terrible situation in Israel and the shocking rise in UK antisemitism.
Rising stress is a key driver of mental illness and the NHS is simply overwhelmed with record waiting times. Our work promoting wellbeing and enabling early mental health interventions has never been more urgently needed.

Courses are delivered over Zoom
We're very proud of our training
Here are just some of the reasons we’re so proud of the training we offer:
- Rather than using generic ‘trainers’, our courses are delivered by our Clinical Director, Jonathan Dove (BSc, MA (Psychotherapy), Registered Member MBACP, Member EMDR UK) a leading and highly respected Mental Health professional with almost 30 years’ experience.
- Project Lily is a Jewish charity, which means we are sensitive to the many religious and cultural issues that can impact on people’s daily lives.
- As well as being filled with essential content, the course is engaging, interactive and has consistently received exceptional feedback from past participants.
- As well as training individuals, we can also provide courses for organisations. Such training is not ‘one size fits all’. Rather, we consult with each organisation to tailor each course to their needs.
I’ve taken part in many courses. The Project Lily mental health training stood head and shoulders above all of them. Its content and style of presentation were exactly what we needed – I can already see the impact of the training.
If you know of an organisation that could benefit from our mental health training, or to learn more about how Project Lily can support them, please email us at [email protected]
