Coping with Antisemitism
Over the last 3 years, I have been volunteering with the National Association of Social Workers, Jewish Special Interest Group to combat antisemitism. The purpose has been to provide support, encourage research and education, and address the current rise in antisemitism. Since 10/07, I have been helping Jewish students, families, therapists, and community members to develop coping strategies, and to process the challenges we face at this time.
