The JFNA Center on Holocaust Survivor Care and Institute on Aging and Trauma is pleased to invite you to the 2023 Training Workshop, hosted in coordination with the Network of Jewish Human Service Agencies’ annual conference, PowerNET 2023: MISSION POSSIBLE. Also offering sessions will be Neshama: Association of Jewish Chaplains. Plenaries and breakout sessions are open to attendees of any of the above organization, and participants may choose which sessions they attend.

JFNA’s Training Workshop is the only North American gathering focused on aging and trauma. It is the premier training opportunity for service providers and experts to hone their skills in providing person-centered, trauma-informed (PCTI) care to Holocaust survivors, diverse older adults with a history of trauma, and their family caregivers. During this conference, participants will learn promising practices in PCTI care and build relationships with service providers. We hope to see you there!
