A Jewish Guide for Professionals to Supporting Individuals through Traumatic Death
This resource, developed by Shomer Collective and The Blue Dove Foundation, is designed for use by professionals and lay leaders in Jewish community settings who are often called upon as “first responders” after a traumatic death in their community.
This resource is meant to act as a guide that helps individuals understand trauma, how it impacts grief, and see the ways in which Jewish wisdom can provide support while grieving a traumatic death. It will also offer a space to think about how Jewish professionals can support themselves in light of a traumatic death.
This resource does not replace professional medical or mental health support. Nothing in this resource is to be construed as medical advice or treatment. For all medical questions, please consult a medical professional or treatment facility.
