Just a sample of their many upcoming offerings:

Sun, Nov 22
Dr. Felsen Webinar Series
Anxiety and Other Post-Traumatic Reactions in Survivors of the Holocaust
How do we cope with life’s difficult transitions and times of crisis? Children of survivors have inherited much of their parent’s “hardening” or “steeling” resiliencies and abilities that have led them to many successes in multiple areas of life.

Tue, Dec 08
Dr. Felsen Webinar Series
Intimacy and Trauma
Marriages of survivors were often based on things other than romantic love, and modeling of the expression of sexuality and intimacy in couples was not often part of family life.

Wed, Dec 09
Virtual Webinar
Mindfulness is the Secret to Effective Self-Care
A special program presented by Avital Meirzon, MSL, CCTP. Self-care can lead you toward happier and healthier lives. Mindfulness will help you lower your stress levels, decrease loneliness, improve attention and manage chronic pain.

The Relationships Between Adult Siblings (2Gs) in Holocaust families: Resentments and cut-offs.
