The YIVO Institute for Jewish Research is based in New York City and represents the single largest and most comprehensive collection of materials on East European Jewish civilization in the world. Dedicated to preserving the stories of Jewish life, much of their work focuses on the history and culture of East European Jewry - the ancestry of a significant number of Jewish people in the world today.

Mental Health Awareness week, hosted by the Mental Health Foundation, is an annual event when there is an opportunity for the whole of the UK to focus on achieving good mental health. This year it takes place from 12th to 18th May and has the theme of 'Community'.

To support schools, with Mental Health Awareness Week, we have featured a range of resources from Purple Mash and free resources that relate to the theme, as well a handy guide to share with parents about how to support children's mental health at home.

The National Holocaust Museum is the only dedicated Holocaust Museum in the UK, that works with people aged 9 and above. As our newest Mash Partner, we have worked together to create pre and post visit workshops to help teachers prepare pupils for a visit by introducing topics and subjects covered at the museum and to build on learning outside the classroom.
