baking for
mental health
Jack Hazan of JackBakes advocates for baking as therapy.
BY BRIAN AMICK
May is Mental Health Awareness Month, which has been
observed in the United States since 1949. It's part of a
bigger national movement to raise awareness about mental
health, fight stigma, provide support, educate the public
and advocate for policies that support those affected by
mental illness.
According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH),
one in five US adults live with a mental illness, ranging from
mild to moderate to severe. It's estimated that 57.8 million
adults aged 18 or older in the US had a mental illness in 2021.
Mental health treatment - including therapy, medication
and self-care - makes recovery possible for most people.
There are many options for self-care specifically, one of
which is creative outlets.
For a job that can be physically demanding, bakers generally
seem to be in positive moods throughout the course of
their days. Science may suggest that this can be attributed
to their profession of choice.
According to a study published in the Journal of Positive
Psychology in late 2016, creative endeavors such as cooking
or baking can make people happier. For bakers, this experience
is twofold - not only do they receive the positive effect
from achieving creative growth, but they also have the
knowledge that their creations are making others happier
as well.
Jack Hazan is taking that to heart in New York City. The
baker turned therapist uses baking techniques to help his
clients. While studying at New York University in 2016, he
started his business JackBakes to make and sell challah
products.
Using his baking expertise in his therapy practice, Hazan
is benefiting New Yorkers. Through individual sessions, he
infuses recipes with coping mechanisms and other key
therapeutic techniques to bring about a healthier life.
In his new cookbook, Mind Over Batter: 75 Recipes for
Baking as Therapy, Hazan guides readers through 75 recipes
that recruit therapeutic techniques readers can tap into
