Join Jewish Family Service for an educational webinar, “Navigating Family Mental Health in the Aftermath of October 7.”
Wednesday, December 6
6:00 – 7:00 p.m.
Are you or your children anxious, angry, or on edge? Do you worry about how your children are handling the Israel-Hamas war and the steep rise in antisemitism around the world? Do you wonder about how to talk with them about the conflict, safety, and how to communicate with their peers? Are you unsure how much news or social media is too much for you or your family?
In this webinar, our experts with expertise in trauma, mental health, and parenting will share insights about how to manage your and your loved ones’ mental health during this very difficult time for the Jewish people. Topics will include understanding how collective and intergenerational trauma impact parents and kids, common signs of stress or trauma reactions in adults and children, and specific strategies for communication and coping in the family.
