In the wake of rising antisemitism and widespread communal trauma, Jewish families are experiencing profound grief, fear, and invalidation. This session offered a supportive and empowering space for community members to come together, learn, and heal.
Through the lens of resilience-centered approach, participants explored how antisemitism and traumatic invalidation affect individuals and families, and how we can respond effectively. The session included interactive tools for supporting individuals and communities, guidance for parents navigating school-based challenges, and strategies for bridging divides across communities through safe activism and dialogue.
Presented by Dr. Miri Bar-Halpern, Director of Trauma Training and Services at Parents for Peace and a Lecturer in Psychology at Harvard Medical School, where she supervises psychology interns and psychiatry residents. [2025.11.18.RS.Naming.the.silence.1a]
