Therapy is Political Speaker Series featuring Shaza Abu Dayah

June 12 @ 9:00 am - 10:30 am PDT

Join us live from Gaza for a conversation with Shaza Abu Dayah: Psychologist, Writer, and Journalist.

Please join us for a live talk with Gaza-based psychologist and writer Shaza Abu Dayah. Shaza will share her reflections on trauma, resilience, meaning-making, and redefining the role of the therapist within the context of an ongoing genocide. She’ll speak about “the limitations of traditional mental health models when applied to a violently colonial reality, and how practitioners can become more aware of the political and ethical dimensions of their work.” She’ll also explore “forms of support and solidarity that move beyond the individual level toward a more collective responsibility”. You don’t want to miss Shaza’s powerful message!
