South African Association of Jewish Mental Health, Medical and Allied Practitioners (SAJMAP)

At SAJMAP, we bring together Jewish professionals and their allies in the mental health, medical and allied fields.

We are committed to upholding the highest standards of professional integrity while championing inclusivity, excellence and ethical practice.

We advocate for a professional environment where all practitioners are respected and protected from discrimination. As part of this commitment, we stand firmly against antisemitism and the spread of biased, anti-Israel rhetoric within our fields. Our goal is to ensure that Jewish professionals - and those who support them - can work with dignity, free from misrepresentation or prejudice.

Together, we’re building a supportive, values-driven community where ethical conduct and mutual respect guide everything we do.
