Sidney A. Teller Lecture

“Community Efforts for Resiliency After 10/27/18 and Preparations for 10/27/19”

Ms. Maggie Feinstein, Director of the 10.27 Healing Partnership, Pittsburgh, PA.

Join us as we learn about the 10.27 Healing Partnership. Over the past year, the greater Pittsburgh community joined with local organizations and those outside of the Pittsburgh area to identify effective ways to help our community heal after the October 27, 2018 synagogue mass shooting. As part of this effort, a group of 10 strong partners including federal and state governmental organizations and local community groups met weekly for 10 months to lead the creation of the new organization – the 10.27 Healing Partnership. Not only will the Partnership be a place to gather, reflect and connect, but it will offer behavioral health resources, wellness classes, educational programming, trainings and ongoing support for those who need help and those who want to help in responding to hate-induced trauma. We will be opening our doors on October 2nd, to help ensure the community access to a wide variety of services that are both victim-centered and trauma-informed.

 

The Pitt Social Work Speaker Series is free and open to the public. Lunch will be provided; RSVP is not required.
