RFTS is here while we witness and grieve.

As a therapy service, I condemn the violent attacks carried out by the Hamas over last weekend/this week and the war/violence that has ensued. I stand in support with the families, children and communities who are grieving and whose lives are endangered by the latest outbreak of violence in the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict. The impacts of the events last weekend and throughout this week have far-reaching consequences to the stability of the region as well as globally.

Witnessing the impacts of violence, terror, and loss can lead to feeling grief, angry, sad, scared, numb, and other distress. As a therapist, my doors are open to process the recent events. I also acknowledge the devasting collective impacts of violence, war, and terror. I have begun receiving local and global requests for MHPSS resources, and direct clinical counseling/assistance in response to what is unfolding in Israel and Palestine. Please reach out if any needs/requests are placed on your respective radars or by you individually.

I will share updates as they become available, along with California based events that are held in solidarity for peace.

In peace and love,

Zack Reed-Fier, LPCC
