Healing Together: Empowering Jewish or Israeli Students and Navigating Trauma

This online workshop series is being offered by 51³Ô¹ÏÍøStudent 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 51³Ô¹ÏÍøto help them thrive.

The role of the Student Affairs Liaison is to answer your questions about 51³Ô¹ÏÍøresources and listen to your concerns. She will help you identify 51³Ô¹ÏÍøand community resources that are suited to your particular situation. The Student Affairs Liaison liaises with the 51³Ô¹ÏÍøadministration 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.
