Join us for an intimate and eye-opening conversation with Prof. Anat Brunstein Klomek, Dean of Reichman University’s School of Psychology. Dive into the heart of resilience amidst the Israel-Gaza war, the pervasive impact of trauma and PTSD, the challenges of social media toxicity, and learn how to communicate with children about the complexities of our reality. We also hear about Anat’s personal journey of navigating through a profound tragedy six months prior to October 7, and her experiences with anti-Israel and antisemitic rhetoric at Columbia University, as well as insight into her own strategies for maintaining resilience in the face of adversity.
