OPEN SOURCE ACTIVITY BOOK
To help the survivors of the 10/7 Hamas massacres and other Israeli children wrestling with trauma as quickly as possible, Artists 4 Israel is releasing an open source version of our multiple war tested Healing Arts Kits, formerly proprietary activity booklet. Each open source kit helps families use everyday household items in specific ways that can defuse the neurological process that solidifies trauma. We invite all psychiatrists, therapists and other mental health professionals to edit this booklet as needed. Our expert team will review each entry on a daily basis for relevance and adherence to accurate scientific research.

ABOUT THE KITS
The Healing Arts Kits provide a neurological roadblock against trauma advancing to PTSD. During crises, individuals experience new and terrifying sights, sounds, smells, physical sensations and emotional pain. PTSD sets in when a person's brain is unable to process all the stimuli in a safe manner which results in a feedback loop in the mind and memory. The Healing Arts Kits create alternative sensations in specific orders designed to stop the PTSD loop from forming.
After rigorous review, The Healing Arts Kits have been endorsed by many top psychological and educational institutions, including the Israel Center for the Treatment of Psychotrauma, the Israel Trauma Coalition, and the Israel Ministry of Education.
