Program Description

This beginner level webinar is aimed at mental health professionals nationwide, regardless of whether or not their current work involves the Jewish community. The purpose of this training is to help clinicians understand what antisemitism is, what it can look like, and how to support their Jewish clients in the face of antisemitism. This training, grounded in a social justice lens, will provide participants with a thorough background and understanding of antisemitism, equip participants with the tools needed to identify antisemitism, and provide trauma-informed guidelines for addressing antisemitism that may arise in their clinical and professional work. The aim of this training is to empower clinicians to feel more comfortable and confident identifying antisemitism, reflecting on antisemitic biases, and cultivating their social justice advocacy to be inclusive of all.
