Classes and Support Groups
A support group is a group of people with common experiences or concerns who provide each other with encouragement, comfort, and advice. The Wendy and Avron B. Fogelman Jewish Family Service at the Memphis Jewish Community Center (MJCC) classes and support groups offer professional as well as peer interaction, specific to a variety of topics and life circumstances. Be on the lookout for additional classes and groups in the future!

Trending Now: Social Media, Celebrity Culture, and Youth Emotional Growth
Facilitated by Rashki Osina, LCSW and Hannah Roberts, LMSW
Participants will analyze the impact of pop culture on youth development and assess social-emotional risk and protective factors. Participants will be able to assess how media exposure contributes to both risk factors (e.g., anxiety, comparison, body image concerns, behavioral modeling) and protective factors (e.g., community belonging, self-expression, cultural connection) in youth clients. During this workshop discussions will occur in applying practice strategies in clinical and school settings. Participants will be able to implement at least two evidence-informed strategies to help youth critically engage with pop culture while strengthening social-emotional skills, resilience, and healthy identity development.
