JFCS and the 10.27 Healing Partnership want you to know that recovery from trauma takes — as long as it takes. And that the shadow of the shooting at Tree of Life Or L’Simcha may (may, not will) follow you longer than you expected, and/or may cloud your life at different times for years: holidays birthdays, or any old day.
To that end JFCS is working with the 10.27 Healing Partnership on continuing to provide counseling sessions, therapy and workshops for anyone in the community who feels they need it – for free. So if you need help, don’t put it off. Welcome the New Year with a promise to take care of yourself.
Here is the latest list of events, meetings and sessions:
