This support group is offered to community members with close relatives in Israel. It will meet twice per month for 8 sessions to provide a safe space to share feelings and coping strategies. Facilitator is Arlene Brewster, Ph.D., temple member and licensed psychologist.

High levels of anxiety are very normal given the situation. This group will provide a caring, supportive, and safe community. Community connection is vital for dealing with sustained stress.

The goal of the group is to aid the members to talk about their concerns, learn ways to care for themselves, identify unhelpful activities, and create a sustaining community.

Meetings are Thursdays at 11:00 am, except for Friday, January 5. Group size will be limited. Please register to indicate your interest.
