SUMMARY:JFS Grief Circle
DESCRIPTION:Grief is something that we are always experiencing\, whether we are aware of it or not. That grief might follow a death of someone close to us\, news of devastating world events or natural disasters\, or worry about family not supporting your identity or beliefs\, as well as the loss of a job\, relationship\, or other big life changes. We invite you to join JFS clinicians for a Grief Circle where you can connect with others experiencing grief\, learn about the impacts on our bodies and minds\, and gain tools for coping with the inevitable grief that being a human brings. \n\nPlease consider a voluntary donation $18.00 in support of Jewish Family Service.

SUMMARY:Landing in Austin: How Can I Support My Child Through the Transition A Conversation with Professionals
DESCRIPTION:Moving to the United States brings many changes for children as well—a new language\, a different environment\, and a shifting routine. In an open conversation with a psychologist\, a speech-language pathologist\, and an occupational therapist\, we will address questions and share practical\, sensitive strategies to support children during the transition. \nWe’ll talk about language development and bilingualism\, how to strengthen a sense of belonging and functioning in a changing environment\, and how you\, as a parent\, can help with all of this. Join us for a conversation about children’s relocation with experienced professionals.

SUMMARY:Death Over Donuts
DESCRIPTION:Our uniting truth is that every single one of us will die. Despite this fact\, our culture shies away from acknowledging it\, making everything—from discussions on end-of-life medical wishes to expressions of what we want our memorial services to look like—feel morbid and sometimes downright scary. But these conversations don’t need to feel this way! Join us for an evening of discussion and connection around what it means to you to have a “good death.” What do you wish for yourself and for those you love most? What conversations can you be starting with loved ones today to ensure that they and you receive the care we all truly deserve at the end of our lives? All are welcome! \nRegister Here.
