PTSD Prevented in 4,000 Children
In mid-May, thousands of rockets targeted Israel in a wave of terror orchestrated by Hamas. Violent protests devastated Jerusalem. Lives were lost. In the middle of this conflict, Artists 4 Israel found a way to help children. Our Healing Arts Kits have been distributed through the help of private donations and dedicated partners:
Women's International Zionist Organization (WIZO), The Israel Trauma Coalition, Passages, The Israeli Ministry of Education, Kibbutz Alumim, City of Sderot, City of Ashkelon and the City of Shtula.
Artists 4 Israel’s Healing Arts Kits are used by Israeli EMTs, Police, Fireman, Teachers and other first responders to slow or prevent the onset of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in children encountering terrorism – and specifically – rocket fire. The contents of the kits provide first responders with practical tools uniquely designed for use with children.
Although the current fight is coming to a close, unfortunately we must prepare for the next. Healing Arts Kits are strategically produced before conflicts in order to meet demand. Help Artists 4 Israel ensure the next shipment is ready to help fight trauma in kids across Israel. Donate now to help Israel treat children experiencing trauma induced by rocket attacks and violence plaguing Israel with Healing Arts Kits.
