Kehilanu Offers
1. Support groups – foster healing by creating bonds through shared pain, recovery, and validation. Each support group will be customized for people who experienced a specific trauma. We will employ traditional and alternative therapies including psychotherapy, mind-body techniques, art therapy and unique approaches such as our Poker Support Group.
2. Trauma Informed Community-Building Activities – connect participants across different trauma backgrounds through curated activities such as cultural events, sports, arts, education, volunteering, and activism. These activities provide safe spaces and life-affirming interactions which reduce isolation, build support networks, and reintegrate individuals into society. Ultimately, this provides a return to normalcy and promotes a community of wellness.
3. Resiliency Workshops for the Workplace- Since October 7th, many organizations are grappling with low morale, emotional strain, and ongoing burnout. We believe that resilience—the individual and collective capacity to cope, recover, and grow in the face of adversity—is key to sustaining teams that are connected, effective, and able to function at their best. We work with companies, NGOs, and government offices, to create customized, in-house programming designed to provide employees with practical tools for building and maintaining resiliency. Each level of our programming is specially tailored in content and length for specific organizational culture.
4. ‘Helping the Helpers: Resiliency and Secondary Trauma Prevention Programming- The mental health/medical/caregiving professionals on the frontlines are themselves stretched beyond capacity, facing intense secondary trauma, burnout and compassion fatigue. Kehilanu provides professionals with their own set of tools and support to continue helping others.
5. Outreach and Partnerships – Partnership is truly our modus operandi. To compliment other support structures already on the ground, we collaborate with organizations and communities nationwide, sharing our unique model and helping to integrate it in a customized manner. We view everyone and every program as a potential partner.
