Resiliency Programing
Drawing on Jewish values and wisdom, our Resiliency Programs are designed to support and strengthen individuals, families, and the larger community.
This includes responding to the urgent and emergent needs of the Jewish community in collaboration with our community partners, such as peer and professional support groups, in-service (staff) trainings, and mental health support.
Topics discussed in past workshops include eating disorders, Alzheimer’s, caregiver support and others.

Building Resilience from Within is back!
October 14-November 18th
Wednesdays 11am-11:45am on Zoom
Registration for the Autumn series now open. Click here to register.
Our popular six-week virtual self-care series for caregivers and anyone experiencing heightened stress in their lives is offered three times each year: once in the fall; once in the winter; and once in the spring.
Participants learn simple techniques to build core resilience, balance the nervous system and deepen a healthy connection to the body.
The free program takes place on Zoom, is open to all, and no experience is required. To ensure accessibility, all exercises can be done seated or standing and every session is recorded so participants can watch or rewatch at their convenience.
