Talking across the divide
Conversations about Israel and Palestine: When families disagree on the things that really matter
Life post-October 7 is challenging enough. What happens when you and your child view it differently - or are even in conflict?
The aftermath of October 7 continues to have profound and wide-ranging effects across our community. For many families, navigating different values and beliefs between generations can be a particular challenge, sometimes resulting in deep and painful divides. With emotions understandably running high, this can be a uniquely hurtful and bewildering experience - for parents and young people alike.
In this session, clinical psychologist Dr Charlotte Keating will explore practical strategies to broach these challenging conversations with openness, curiosity and respect, to ensure that family relationships remain strong and connected - even in the face of great differences.
Date: Tuesday 17 September
Time: 7:30pm - 9:00pm
Venue: This is an online session. A Zoom link will be emailed to registrants the day before the session.
