Healing Together: Empowering Jewish Students and Navigating Intergenerational Trauma
A three-part video series designed to help Jewish students understand and process intergenerational trauma.
The Student Affairs Liaison for Jewish Students is here to help the diversity of Jewish students at McGill. Her role is to listen to your concerns and help you identify McGill and community resources that are suited to you particular situation. The Student Affairs Liaison liaises with the McGill administration and others to make sure your concerns are heard.
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.
Don't hesitate to reach out with concerns or questions.
