SUMMARY:International Holocaust Remembrance Day
DESCRIPTION: International Holocaust Remembrance Day with Holocaust survivor and speaker Gitta Ryle\nThursday\, January 25\, 6:30 -8pm  &  Saturday\, January 27\, 2 – 3pm  \nSanta Cruz Public Libraries and Temple Beth El invite the public to be part of an important and timely conversation in preparation for the observance of International Holocaust Remembrance Day with Holocaust survivor and speaker Gitta Ryle in our Capitola Branch. \nGitta Ryle has been presenting for years about her story and journey to forgiveness and mental well-being at schools\, houses of worship\, juvenile centers\, and other organizations around the country\, turning trauma into teaching. This event with Gitta Ryle is an invaluable opportunity to hear first-hand her remarkable story of survival and forgiveness. \nEvery January  the UN urges every member state to honor the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust and millions of other victims of Nazism and to develop educational programs to help prevent future genocides. \nThursday\, January 25\, 6:30 – pm : The Remembrance will take place at the Capitola Branch Library Ow Family Community Room. Registration for this event is required. \nTo register visit https://santacruzpl.libcal.com/event/11719758. \nSaturday\, January 27\, 2-3pm: As we commemorate International Holocaust Remembrance Day\, young readers and their families are invited to this special reading and discussion of the book The Double Crossing with author Sylvia Patience. Light refreshments will be provided. The book will be available for purchase and signing by the author. \nAbout The Double Crossing \nIn 1939\, shortly before World War II breaks out in Europe\, thirteen-year-olds David and Hannah attempt to escape Nazi Germany\, along with over nine hundred other Jewish refugees\, on the historic voyage of the St. Louis. Together\, they discover a Nazi spy plot\, and dare to interfere\, nearly at the cost of Hannah’s life. When the ship is forced to return to Europe\, the passengers are divided between four countries. Despite their wishes\, David and Hannah are sent to different destinations … perhaps separated forever. \nLearning about these refugees of nearly a century ago will give young readers insight into today’s refugee crisis. It will help them understand why sometimes people must leave their countries\, and what can happen to them when forced to return to regions they are trying to escape. https://santacruzpl.libcal.com/event/11842112

SUMMARY:Support for Parents of High Needs Babies
DESCRIPTION:Support for Parents of High Needs Babies\n4th Tuesdays of the month\, 9:30am pst \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThank you\, Postpartum Support International\n\n\n\nNEW SUPPORT GROUP: Support for Parents of High Needs Babies  will take place on the 4th Tuesday of the month at 9:30 am PST!\n\n\n\nLed by trained peer facilitators\, this group is for parents of “high need” newborns to 12-month-old babies. All babies have needs and depend on their caregivers\, yet some babies have more needs than others. “High needs baby” is not a medical term or diagnosis\, but it is a term used to describe babies with some of these characteristics: constant crying (for several hours in a row)\, difficult to soothe\, and easily overstimulated. A highly sensitive or high needs baby might not sleep without being held\, might cry for three hours every evening\, or might get restless and frustrated when transitioning from one environment to another. We know that parents of “colicky” or high-needs babies can feel isolated\, exhausted\, and overwhelmed. You are not alone\, and we are here to help. Crying babies are welcome too!\n\n\n\nIf you are looking for a group for parenting a medically fragile baby or child\, please check out our group specifically for those parents.\n\n\n\nTo view all our online support groups\, visit http://bit.ly/FindSupportGroup

SUMMARY:Postpartum Support Group
DESCRIPTION:Postpartum Support International\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNEW SUPPORT GROUP!\n\n\n\nPostpartum Psychosis (PPP) is rare. It occurs in approximately 1 to 2 out of every 1\,000 deliveries.  After a PPP survivor’s symptoms have been stabilized\, peer support can be an important tool for recovery. Because PPP occurs less often than other perinatal mood disorders\, survivors can go their whole lives without meeting another PPP survivor.  In response\, PSI has created an online peer-to-peer support group for PPP survivors. This group is intended for those who are in recovery (no longer experiencing psychosis).   Whether your PPP experience was relatively recent or years ago\, you are welcome to attend our free\, online peer-to-peer support group.\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister here: https://www.postpartum.net/…/psi-online-support-meetings/\nFull Meeting Schedule
