SUMMARY:NETGroup: Holocaust Survivor Services - Supervisors/Directors
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Supporting Second and Third Generation Survivors \nBuilding on our recent Holocaust Survivor Services Professionals NETGroup\, highlighting the “To Be Continued…” podcast and the voices of second and third generation survivors\, we want to maintain our momentum and focus on ways member agencies are supporting the next generations and discuss how agencies can offer support. \nIn this meeting we will meet Melissa Williams\, Holocaust Educator\, with The LJD Jewish Family & Community Services. We will hear about “The Speakers Bureau”\, an innovative program that began as a community education initiative. While its initial goal was to help second and third generation survivors educate the community about the Holocaust by sharing their stories\, it has evolved into something much larger…a therapeutic and cathartic experience for the participants themselves. \nAfter learning about this program\, we will open the floor to share ways member agencies are supporting second and third generation survivors and brainstorm ways agencies can lend support moving forward.
