As social workers and therapists, we know that bias and misunderstanding can profoundly shape the safety and well-being of our clients and are devoted to the consideration of how bias may impede clinical progress. This webinar will equip you with the tools to understand Jewish identity, history, and the contemporary lived experience—while addressing how antisemitism and its distorted narratives can impact mental health, treatment, and trust in therapeutic relationships. Through an exploration of Jewish cultural values, intergenerational trauma, and contemporary challenges, you will gain insight into how antisemitism manifests in both subtle and overt ways, and how to support Jewish clients and colleagues with sensitivity and accountability. Your professional practice will expand with learnings related to incidents, attitudes, and perceptions of antisemitism and concrete resources that offer support and empowerment for clients to develop their self-advocacy skills. Join us for this timely and essential training to build your cultural competency, strengthen your practice, and foster inclusive, trauma-informed and healing-centered care.
