Wilsonville event aims to explore emotional impact of war in Israel and Gaza

It’s been about two weeks since war broke out in Israel and Gaza. Though thousands of miles away, the war and subsequent humanitarian crisis in the Middle East has taken an emotional, mental and personal toll on many Oregonians. An event in Wilsonville this weekend brought together medical and mental health professionals to help community members develop coping mechanisms for the stress and find support through fellow community members.

Farah Ramchandani organized the event and Selma Quan Anderson participated in her capacity as a registered nurse. They join us to talk about the importance of creating space for community members to process their feelings.
