SUMMARY:One Year Later: Talking to Our Children in Today's World
DESCRIPTION:It has been one year since the day that changed everything. One year later\nand our children still have questions and we are so often at a loss for the\nright words. The J invites you to a special conversation on talking to our\nchildren about Israel\, antisemitism and their own Jewish identity. The panel\nwill feature curated experts Rebecca Starr\, Leah Blatnikoff and Brooke Bendix. \nThis program will feature panelist presentations and a short Q&A session.\nLight refreshments will be served.\nThis evening is geared toward parents of children ages 10 and under. \nThank you to our host committee:\nAlex Hartman\nLulu Hartman\nSamantha Foon\nRebecca Weiner\nLauren Soleimani\nCarly Pickel\nAlex Mollen \nSpeaker Bios:\nRebecca Starr  is the Vice President of Educational Operations and\nRegional Strategy for the Shalom Hartman Institute of North America\, where she\nleads the design and implementation process for educational initiatives and\nguides the regional hubs across the US and Canada.

I’m Leah. Oftentimes kids and teens’ feelings are invalidated or told\nthat what they are experiencing is “not a big deal.” That can be very\nfrustrating\, especially as a teen! My goal as a clinical social worker is to\nhelp people\, no matter their age\, work through their trauma\, anxieties\, and\nlife struggles. I understand how trauma and life experiences can shape a child\nor teen’s life which is why I am so passionate about helping youth through\nthese vulnerable years. Growing up with constant access to tech and social\nmedia\, especially during unprecedented times\, is very tough! I want to support\nyou through it all. \nBrooke Bendix\, AM\, LCSW  is the founder of Therapyology and a Licensed\nClinical Social Worker who specializes in individual and group therapy for\nkids\, teens and adults. Brooke has over 16 years of clinical experience\,\ntraining\, and education in the field of social work and child development. She\nfounded Therapyology in 2016\, where their mission is devoted to “empowering\nthe next generation” by helping kids and teens develop healthy coping skills\nto manage their emotions\, thoughts\, and behaviors and truly develop their\nsense of identity! \nCo-hosted by: Therapyology and Shalom Hartman Institute of North America \nIf you or any family member need accommodations in order to successfully\nparticipate in the program\, please reach out to our team!\n(https://mailto:jfamily@jccdet.org) \nView event on Jlive: https://jlive.app/events/9524
