On Wednesday, June 8, 2022 from 8am to 1:30pm, join us at 5200 NE 2nd Avenue on the Miami Jewish Health campus where the 26th Annual Ministering to the Elderly Conference will focus on the notion of “Creating Meaning in Times of Uncertainty.”
The conference is being organized by Mishkan Miami: The Jewish Connection for Spiritual Support of the Greater Miami Jewish Federation, Miami Jewish Health and Jewish Community Services of South Florida. The Ministering to the Elderly Conference is a practical forum for caring professionals and community and spiritual leaders, in addition to those concerned with enriching the lives of seniors.
During times like the recent COVID-19 pandemic, intense polarization and political conflict, and disasters like Surfside, it can be difficult to find meaning, hope and resilience. Keynote speaker Dr. Kenneth J. Doka will explore the grief- often disenfranchised- people may experience during this traumatic period. He will also offer suggestions on ways to build resilience, hope and meaning within ourselves and those we serve.
Registration fee for the conference is $36 per person, which includes Kosher continental breakfast and lunch. Continuing education credits will be available for nurses, mental health professionals and guardians.
