Hibuki – For the Children of Israel
Last week at Lunch ‘n Learn, we were honored to hear IDF General Avi Benayahu as he explained Israel’s ongoing war, highlighting the urgent psychological impact on children. Dr. Shai Hen-Gal, a clinical psychologist, presented Telem’s Hibuki Therapy program, which uses a specially designed plush dog to help traumatized children ages 3-9 cope with psychological distress. Originally developed during the Second Lebanon War, the therapy has since become an internationally recognized mental health intervention for children experiencing trauma.
