What is this group?
In light of recent events in Sydney and their impact on the Jewish community, we are opening a fortnightly online support group.
This group offers a safe, supportive space to talk, share experiences, and receive emotional support and practical tools to help cope during this challenging period.
Who is this group for?
This group is open to adults (18 years and above) from the Jewish community who:
- Feel emotionally affected by recent events
- Are you experiencing fear, sadness, anger, confusion, or overwhelm
- Feel a sense of community loss or disconnection
- Would like to connect with others who are going through similar experiences
When does the group meet?
Every second Wednesday
12:00 PM – 1:00 PM (Israel Time)
Online (Zoom)
Group Content & Format
Each session will include:
- A gentle check-in and grounding in the present moment
- Psychoeducation about stress, trauma, grief, and community loss
- Simple, practical tools for emotional regulation and coping
- Space for sharing (optional) and community connection
- Time for reflection and closing
The group is supportive and educational, not a therapy group.
Facilitation
The group is facilitated by a PACFA-registered psychotherapist with lived experience and professional expertise in trauma and grief, offering a culturally sensitive and compassionate space.
Registration
Registration is required.
The Zoom link will be sent to registered participants.
