Sumoud Support Sessions (Therapy)


TIFF Lightbox, 2nd Floor Green Room

This has been a very difficult time for our community as we bear witness to a live-streamed genocide and experience anti-Palestinian racism. TPFF recognizes the toll the past year has taken on our audience.  We also recognize the importance of taking time to care for our long-term well-being in order to continue to support Palestinians. 

TPFF in partnership with Jasmine Counseling & Psychotherapy (Palestinian-led/owned) are offering a series of mental health sessions for Arab community members.  Allies may join if spaces are available.  Walk-ins welcome if spaces are available.
