At the Binyan Project, we understand that although people want to be their healthiest selves, sometimes there are struggles. And sometimes, people want to hear from a professional but aren't ready to make an appointment. It is the mission of The Binyan Project to provide that resource. There is the online companion course that supports and expands the marriage education provided in Me and You - What I Wish I Knew, an educational experience that doesn’t just inform couples, but that transforms how people have their marriages. There is a place to ask your questions, handouts related to the book, blog posts and podcast episodes to enhance your understanding of connection - the key ingredient in deepening and improving relationships, our most precious commodity. In addition, there are other self-improvement and educational workshops by professionals that address different mental health topics someone might be concerned about, and there are interviews with various mental health professionals geared to educating community leaders.
About
The binyan project
The Binyan Project is an initiative started for the Orthodox Jewish Community by Lisa Twerski, LCSW. With over 30 years of experience as a therapist working with individuals and couples, Mrs. Twerski wanted to provide the community with a resource to help couples set themselves up, from the outset, to be able to have a happy and healthy marriage, and community leaders with resources to better intervene with community in their role. Combining her training in pre-marital and marriage education, experience as a therapist, and years of experience providing lectures and workshops, she came up with the idea of The Binyan Project, a resource for the community to access help building marriage family and community.
