Jewish LGBTQ Health Providers Coping with Antisemitism Support Group
A Wider Bridge and Queers Against Antisemitism and Gesher Campus Care invite Jewish LGBTQ Health Care Providers to an Antisemitism LGBTQ+ Support group, providing a special safe space for our LGBTQ health care providers (therapists, social workers, doctors, nurses) to share, contemplate and support each other during these times where antisemitism is raging even within our own LGBTQ+ community. If you have experienced antisemitism in your practice either by colleagues and/or patients or in the workplace or are concerned about it in these times this is a group to gain strength and process together. This is not a group therapy session. This program is sponsored by a grant from UJA/NY.
Registration is limited. This is a 6 session closed group. You must commit to the 6 sessions. Starting on Friday afternoons beginning in November. (Nov. 7, 14, 21 Dec. 5, 12, 19) at 1 pm ET. It will be co-facilitated by Dr. Jessica Zmood, Psy.D and Rabbi Denise L. Eger, D.D., PCC
