In the wake of the tragic and senseless shootings at Bondi Beach in Australia on the first night of Chanukah, many of us are experiencing profound sadness, anger, vulnerability, and grief. We also recognize that moments like this can stir up other traumas, old and new, especially amid the horrible and continuing reality of antisemitism.

At JF&CS, our goal is to provide safe, supportive spaces where we can process these feelings together, be truly heard, and find strength in community. To that end, we invite you to join an upcoming Circles of Connection session via Zoom.

What is Circles of Connection?

Circles of Connection use an evidence-based, trauma-informed peer support model to help participants feel seen, heard, and supported as we navigate stress and anxiety in a challenging world. Circles are offered with support from Combined Jewish Philanthropies, The Beker Foundation, and the Ruderman Family Foundation.

Mental Health Support at JF&CS

Jewish Family & Children’s Service offers a wide range of services to support the mental health and wellness needs of the Boston Jewish community—including guidance and clinical expertise for the facilitators of Circles of Connection. To learn more, visit jfcsboston.org/mentalhealth.
