Join Rabbi Lauren Holtzblatt and Dr. Jack Saul for an in-depth zoom conversation about Trauma and Resilience on Tuesday October 12 at 7:30. They will discuss paths toward communal healing as we emerge from the pandemic. Dr. Saul is director of the International Trauma Studies Program (ITSP), a research and training institute based in New York City.  His work enhances the natural resilience and coping capacities in individuals, families, and communities that have endured and/or are threatened by traumatic events - domestic and political violence, armed conflict, and natural disaster.  As a psychologist, he has created a number of psychosocial programs for populations that have endured war, torture, and political violence. He is known for his innovative work with families and communities that integrates testimony, healing, media, and the performance arts. His book Collective Trauma, Collective Healing: Promoting Community Resilience in the Aftermath of Disaster was published in July 2013. This free program is sponsored by the Jewish Mindfulness Center of Washington and Briyut: The Wellness Center of Adas Israel
