Healing from the Heart: Empowering the Wounded
Designed to support and rehabilitate those impacted by the attacks of October 7th and the ongoing war, as well as their families and caregivers, Brothers and Sisters at Heart offers a path to recovery and renewed strength. The program offers a combination of personal and community guidance to help those who were injured or wounded to rebuild their lives and strengthen their mental and emotional resilience.
Brothers and Sisters at Heart provides a variety of activities such as art therapy workshops, career counselling, language classes, music projects, storytelling initiatives and more. There are one-time workshops and ongoing programs – all personalized and tailored to the needs of the wounded or injured individuals or their families or caregivers. Volunteers in various fields, including language teachers, music instructors, writers, and screenwriters, play an essential role in providing valuable guidance, enrichment, and support as those whose lives have been turned upside down regain their footing and find their place. These efforts are made possible through collaboration with medical organizations, the Ministry of Defense and other NGOs.
Volunteers are also working on ways to integrate those who were wounded into Brothers and Sisters for Israel so they can continue to contribute to Israeli society in a significant way.
By fostering a strong community and providing vital resources, the program works to ensure that those recovering from their wounds are not only supported but empowered to heal and move forward.
