Upcoming Training: Understanding the Mental Health Impact of Antisemitism on Jewish Students

Sunday, August 17, 2025

7:00–8:30 PM EST

Live Online Training

Hosted by Gesher Campus Care | Free for Gesher Campus Care Therapists

We are pleased to invite our Gesher Campus Care therapist community to a timely and essential training led by Dr. Liya Levanda, a GCC-affiliated therapist and valued member of our Mental Health Advisory Board.

This complimentary 90-minute session will explore the complex mental health effects of antisemitism on Jewish students and provide clinicians with tools to respond with empathy, insight, and effectiveness.

As antisemitism continues to rise globally and locally, Jewish students are increasingly navigating environments that impact their identity development, psychological safety, and emotional well-being. Clinicians serving this population need trauma-informed, culturally responsive strategies to support students facing both direct and ambient antisemitic stress.

What You’ll Learn

This training will equip participants with:

• A deeper understanding of how antisemitism manifests in academic and social settings

• Insight into the psychological effects of identity-based discrimination in adolescence and young adulthood

• Clinically grounded strategies for supporting Jewish students experiencing trauma, isolation, or fear

• Tools to foster resilience, cultural pride, and a sense of agency in young clients

Who Should Attend

This training is designed for:

• GCC network therapists

• Mental health professionals working with Jewish youth, adolescents, and young adults

• School counselors and university-based clinicians

Continuing Education (CE) Credits

Information regarding CE credits will be announced shortly. Eligible participants may receive 1.5 CE hours upon completion of the session and post-event evaluation.

Registration Details

This training is free of charge for GCC therapists. A registration link and Zoom details will be shared in the coming weeks.
