On December 14, 2023, Kheya Ganguly led a presentation on the Center for the Study of Social Policy's monthly Strengthening Families webinar. This presentation unpacked how to better understand how trauma affects practitioners and the ones they support. Attendees learned about new ways to conceptualize resilience by considering it rather as a transformation. 

During this webinar, participants will consider the following questions: When children’s lives and well-being are at serious risk, how can religious institutions and faith communities help to uphold commitments to children’s rights and protection and strengthen child-centered moral conscience? How do the impacts of war on children affect their mental health, moral compass, and capacity to empathize with others? Do these impacts on young minds risk aggravating and prolonging the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, jeopardizing possibilities of conflict transformation, peace, and security in the future? 

Government delegations, UN agencies and other multi-laterals, civil society organizations, researchers, and stakeholders working on the climate agenda will head to Dubai for the UN Conference of Parties Climate Change Conference (COP) from November 30 to December 12.
