Session 5 of the National Jewish Healing Conference 2026, themed Belonging in a Changing World: Supporting Our Most Vulnerable.

The assaults of antisemitism are growing. Students, health care professionals, teachers, and many others face increasing antisemitism. One of the challenges is that feelings are dismissed or minimized – a process of traumatic invalidation. Our two speakers, both experts in treating trauma, have authored the seminal article on the subject and will discuss how to combat this sense of invalidation, create security and resilience.

Presenters:

Dr. Mimi Bar-Halpern, Director of Trauma Training and Services at Parents for Peace and the Director of Intensive Outpatient Treatment Services at Boston Child Study Center

Dr. Jacklyn Wolfman, Founder, Village Psychology
