About the First Supporter Project.

The First Supporter Project aims to provide a series of resources and inspiration to assist the spiritual leader in being the best support they can be for the particular situation. More topics coming in the future.

Who is a First Supporter? • Rabbi • Rebbetzin • Kallah teacher • Chosson teacher • Mashpia/ Madrich • Askan • anyone who works with people in need of support

In times of personal crisis, a person will often turn first to their spiritual/religious leader.
The religious leader is in a unique position to respond to people who are impacted by a crisis because he or she is already in an established role, has a core of relationships, and brings a faith perspective that speaks to the need for meaning that is so pervasive in the human experience of suffering.
