Providing a Community of Support After Tragedy
Our VOICES Together is a series of programs that provide the community with opportunities to connect with each other for support. In response to the atrocities and loss of life in Israel we are offering a series of programs, beginning with support groups facilitated by VOICES professional staff, to provide an opportunity to share emotional reactions and coping strategies. In the coming weeks we will offer educational workshops to further discuss grief, loss and building resilience after tragedy. In addition, we will distribute information about resources and how to offer your assistance in the relief efforts.
