In this workshop, we will discuss the dire health and mental health conditions faced by the approximately 100 hostages held captive in Gaza, and how these mental health consequences ripple outward, impacting our collective well-being. We will process concepts such as learned helplessness, moral injury, bystander effect and ambiguous loss. This workshop focuses on how we can transform distress into meaningful action and advocacy. The event is appropriate for adults and older teens and is open to all, regardless of personal connection to the hostages or Israel. Space is limited to 20 participants. The workshop will be facilitated by clinical social workers Michal Inspektor, LICSW, and Michal Goldring Keidar, LICSW. 

Register by Friday, January 24th to get details in time!

Cost: This program is open to all. Kavana's adult learning opportunities are generally free of charge for our partners, who help to offset the costs of operating the Kavana community by making a generous annual donation. For those who are not Kavana partners, we ask that you chip in $10 per session to help us cover program costs. Please note that there is a free option in case of financial hardship; while it is a value in our cooperative community that everyone contributes something, we also never want finances to be a barrier.
