Transform Your Clinical Practice: Addressing Antisemitism in Therapy

SAN DIEGO - June 14, 2024 - PRLog -- In response to the alarming increase in antisemitic incidents worldwide, Telehealth.org is proud to announce a critical training session designed to empower clinicians with the skills and confidence to support Jewish clients effectively. The course, titled "Transform Your Practice: Mastering the Art of Supporting Jewish Clients Effectively," will be led by renowned psychologist Dr. Liya Levanda, PsyD.

Course Overview: Antisemitism is at an all-time high globally, particularly following the 2023 Israel-Hamas conflict. The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) reported a staggering 388% increase in hate crimes against Jewish people in the two weeks following October 7, 2023, compared to the same period the previous year. This surge underscores the urgent need for clinicians to be well-equipped in identifying and addressing antisemitic issues within their practice.

Many clinicians report a lack of knowledge and discomfort in addressing antisemitism with their Jewish clients. This training aims to bridge that gap by providing comprehensive education on recognizing and combating antisemitism, reflecting on biases, and advocating for social justice.
