INVESTING IN WOMEN IN COMMUNAL ROLES

Serving on the front line in a Jewish communal role often means being the person turned to when community members are struggling. Learn counseling skills, how to provide personal and communal support and calm crises, and gain the information necessary to make a referral to the professionals trained to work with the specific issues being presented.

This virtual training seminar will include small group mentoring providing the opportunity to apply acquired skills while receiving insight and guidance from mental health professionals serving in communal roles.

Applications accepted until March 30, 2023 (Fellowships will be awarded on a rolling basis.)
