Coping and Resilience in Challenging Times: Recovering from Trauma
Second Annual Online Conference
In times of crisis, the ability to heal, rebuild, and move forward is essential. As we continue to grapple with the profound impact of the Swords of Iron War in Israel and the challenges facing Jews worldwide, Torah in Motion presents its second annual online conference on Coping and Resilience in Challenging Times: Recovering from Trauma.
Bringing together leading experts in psychology, resilience, and Jewish thought, this conference will explore pathways to recovery – both personal and communal. From overcoming trauma to navigating stigma, anxiety, and post-traumatic growth, participants will gain insightful perspectives and practical tools for resilience.
Join us for a day of learning, reflection, and empowerment as we explore how to move beyond adversity with strength and hope.
