JCFS: Navigating Conflict in the Home through Jewish Values

A workshop for parents and guardians

This program explores how parents and guardians can approach and engage in difficult conversations through the lens of Jewish values, using these principles as a jumping-off point for meaningful dialogue and reflection. In this interactive workshop, you will have the opportunity to learn dialogue frameworks, reflect on your own household, and engage in guided conversation with one another. Additionally, the workshop will cover yellow- and red-flag behavior in youth and teens, as well as how to access outside support.

This will be a supportive space for parents/guardians to share perspectives with one another and encounter a range of resources.
