Particularly notable is the American Psychological Association’s strategic plan to eliminate racism in all its forms does not mention antisemitism, the most frequent religious hate crime in the United States. It is essential for social workers to have an understanding of the impact of antisemitism, and all forms of oppression, on their clients’ and community’s mental health.
