The Healthy Faculty!

As part of the MAHAR (Hebrew acronym for medical social responsibility) course requirements, the Student Leader’s Wellness Team of the Healthy Faculty initiative, led by Dr. Jumanah Essa-Hadad and Dr. Lilach Malatskey, organized various activities during the 2021-2022 academic year to improve student health and wellbeing.  These activities included active breaks for all students at the faculty (e.g. healthy snacks, exercise sessions, yoga), hikes in the Galilee to encourage social engagement and physical activity, a mental health media campaign, among others. It is sometimes a challenge to find time for active breaks within the heavy course load, or rooms/resources for activities, but we believe in the important impact this initiative has on the wellbeing of the students.
