Our hearts are with the Jewish community and all affected by the Bondi tragedy.
We grieve for the lives lost and stand in solidarity with those impacted by this horrific act of violence. When hate takes root, it causes trauma that reaches far beyond those directly affected, it unsettles our shared foundations of safety, trust, and compassion.
As mental health professionals, we know that healing from such events takes time, care, and community. Grief, fear, and anger are natural responses, and no one should have to navigate them alone.
Now more than ever, compassion and connection are vital. Let us come together, across faiths, backgrounds, and beliefs, to support one another, reject hate in all its forms, and reaffirm our collective commitment to empathy, healing, and peace.
If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out for support. You are not alone.
