Title |
A Drop-In Centre for Holocaust Survivors: Inspiring Hope, Meaning, and Purpose
|
Abstract |
A drop-in centre at Montreal's Cummings Jewish Centre for Seniors, a community-based agency, addresses Holocaust survivors' needs for socialization with peers and fosters a sense of community- and belonging. It also serves as an entry point for survivors who have had little or no previous contact with the Jewish community and integrates them into further involvement within the agency. The author explains that its holistic approach gives members a sense of autonomy and control as they learn new coping skills and wellness strategies to improve their quality of life. The author discusses the program's creation, evolution, and success in reaching out to Holocaust survivors.
