4u2gr0w and United Hatzalah Psychological First Aid (Session 5)

Thank you for your interest in the training 4u2gr0w is facilitating with an expert in the field of helping victims of terror. This training by Gaby Rurka will assist with counseling attendees of your own practices as well as the broader community.  As Gaby explains, we in the diaspora are fighting 2 wars; the physical war in Israel and the psychological war where so many of us are feeling traumatised in our own lives.  After only 75 minutes of training, you will have a toolset to deal with this new pandemic. 

Date and Time : Sunday 19th November 2023 at 2.15pm Israel time (8.15pm Perth time; 7.15am New York and Toronto time)

Who are we?

4u2gr0w is a platform to access the most sought-after, experienced and expert teachers who teach in small, personalised groups to nurture and inspire students in Numeracy and Literacy.  
We have recently added Hebrew to our list of courses.  
We are now also providing our courses for free to any Israeli student either in Israel or for those who have left Israel at this time of war. We are in discussions with the Ministry of Education in Israel to help with the teaching of displaced students. 

What the course offers:

One of the leading health insurers in Israel needs more help with the counseling of their members.  
We are collating a list of doctors, psychologists (in particular child psychologists), counselors, social workers and any allied health professionals who firstly feel they could benefit from this free training and in turn, but not required, offer their services for free to the victims of terror in Israel. 

Here is a testimonial from a participant of the first group that has completed the training:

“After only 1 hour and 10 minutes of training with Gaby Rurka, I was able to direct a friend struggling with feelings of overwhelm, anxiety and insomnia as a result of current events in Israel and the ripple effect this has had on Jewish communities worldwide.

My first instinct was to suggest psychological counselling, however, after some further information gathering, I confidently recommended Psychological First Aid as the first step on my friend's healing journey. Another attendee of the same training has offered to conduct the session – after only 70 minutes of training herself! “
