FebFebruary 24 , 2020Parenting with Multiple Layers
Monday, Feb 24th 7:00p to 8:30p
Parenting is challenging at some points no matter what. Although each situation is unique and parenting experiences differ tremendously, mental or physical health conditions, addiction, history of trauma, and some kinds of disabilities can add another layer to parenting. Systemic social issues like stigma, marginalization, lack of services, or general lack of knowledge can add yet more layers and create further challenge. These 2 sessions aim to begin to build a safe space for parents to be heard, break down the isolation that can come with parenting with many layers, and explore how Jewish community and Judaism can be helpful. Facilitated by Laura Orgel, psychologist and child/family therapist, and Deborah Eisenbach-Budner. Max. 8 participants; commitment to confidentiality prior to attendance required. Please contact Laura at ljorgel@earthlink.net by January 20 to indicate your interest. -
