A Dinner Invitation for The Healing Arts Kits
Bruce Robinson invites you to attend a dinner to raise money for the Healing Arts Kits Emergency Campaign. Guests are asked to come in cocktail attire and we will feature catered kosher food, open bar, live music and curated, impactful speakers.
The Healing Arts Kits slow or stop the onset of new cases of post-traumatic stress disorder in Israel's children. This groundbreaking therapeutic tool is designed by a consortium of psychiatrists, therapists, first-responders, parents and teachers around the latest in trauma research, art, play, drama and movement therapy. 10,000 of these emergency, psychological first-aid tools have been utilized throughout Israel. As of October 7th, our entire stockpile was depleted and we are now in an emergency campaign to produce more. In the past two months, local communities have produced 2,000 more Kits in record time and the need continues to grow.

“At WIZO, we work closely with a number of therapeutic programs to help children cope with many different traumatic experiences. After thorough review by our organization’s professional medical and psychological staff, we decided to activate the Healing Arts Kits on a trial basis during Operation Protective Edge. We found that it is an effective treatment and a revolutionary work in preventing PTSD. We saw immediate effects in our Day Care Centers throughout Israel. We know the children under our care to be safer because of this program.” – Hila Stern, Executive Director, WIZO
