Participants will learn:
How to notice subtle signs that someone may be in distress

About The Long Short Road
Founded in 2019 by Leigh Ioffe, The Long Short Road is a nonprofit organization created in response to the growing need for mental-health support, suicide prevention, and healing across families and communities.
Since its founding, the organization has been “walking the long short road”, offering support, education, and hope to individuals, families, and schools.
The organization’s name comes from a teaching in Tanya. The “long short road” may not be the quickest or easiest path, but it is the one that truly leads home. For The Long Short Road, this means accompanying people through crisis, healing, and resilience — every step of the way.
Through trauma-informed education, relational workshops, and a growing network of support, The Long Short Road empowers individuals and communities to move from isolation and despair toward connection, presence, hope, and dignity.

All the above is very important.
However, the most important thing kindness. Whether it’s a parent to a child, a student to a student, or making someone feel at home in your shul, kindness can make a huge difference.
Just going out of your way to be kind can be the key that opens the door to all the things that you yourself need.
Besuros tovos!
