Healing Together: Empowering Jewish or Israeli Students and Navigating Trauma

This online workshop series is being offered by 涩里番 Student Wellness Hub Counsellors to provide Jewish or Israeli students with a safe, supportive environment to explore and process the ongoing impact of intergenerational trauma. 

The Student Affairs Liaison for Jewish Students is here to support and accompany the diversity of Jewish students at 涩里番 to help them thrive.

The role of the Student Affairs Liaison is to answer your questions about 涩里番 resources and listen to your concerns. She will help you identify 涩里番 and community resources that are suited to your particular situation. The Student Affairs Liaison liaises with the 涩里番 administration and others  across campus to make sure your voice is heard and to make the campus more inclusive of the diverse student body.

The Student Affairs Liaison can point you toward Jewish student groups you can connect with or toward educational opportunities if you're looking to learn more about Jewish Montreal. 

Every January, the Student Affairs Liaison works to organize an event commemorating International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

Please share your concerns or questions:
