As we approach the one year anniversary of the tragic events of October 7th, we invite you to join a free webinar titled “Commemorating October 7th: Practical Approaches for Supporting your Jewish Clients.”  This session is designed to help mental health professionals navigate the complexities of supporting Jewish clients during this deeply emotional time.

Webinar Highlights:

• Meaning-Making and Reflection: We will reflect on how clients and their lives may have changed since the October 7th attacks. Taking a macro-level perspective may offer trauma integration and a sense of purpose.
• Trauma-Informed Commemoration: Drawing on trauma research, we will discuss strategies for helping clients process collective trauma, including using memory as a form of resilience, engaging in mindful reflection, and balancing individual healing with community support.
• Honoring Loss through Tradition: Explore ways to incorporate meaningful rituals of mourning and remembrance that resonate with cultural and spiritual traditions.
• Focus on Practical Interventions: We will focus on actionable strategies and, time permitting, engage in case consultation to equip you with tools specific to your practice.

Date/Time: September 27, 2024 at 1pm PST / 4pm EST
