A DROP-IN TALK STORY GROUP has been to provide a safe space to share thoughts and feelings after the recent life changing events, including the Maui Wildfire tragedy, war in the Middle East with its immediate and multigenerational effects and all the hurt and chaos of being in the world at this time. We have all been affected whether we are still living here on beautiful Maui or have left for work or family. Work, life and relationships have changed. We may be feeling sadness, overwhelm, disorientation, stress, etc. Come listen and share with others.
DROP-IN TALK STORY GROUP on Tuesdays from 11:00 AM-12:30 PM
Jewish Congregation of Maui ​​​​​​​634 Alulike St Kihei, HI 96753
•Group is drop-in and available for connecting with others, to chat/vent/share your questions, thoughts, feelings, concerns. There will be no record keeping of attendance or what is discussed and there is no commitment about attendance.  Attendees are welcome to stay as long as they wish and to come as often as they like. It is fine just to be present and to listen. Please respect confidentiality to the greatest extent possible, especially not disclosing who is present or who spoke about a particular topic.Â
The goals of the group are:  •to create a safe place to connect and dialogue, •to provide attendees with mutual aid and support with a sense of safety and belonging, •to provide information sharing and problem solving if desired, and •to help maintain strength and resiliency and prevent burnout.
We look forward to sharing with you! Mitch Berman, LMFT
