Feedback:

The five sessions for the Mesila staff have ended and we are looking forward with great anticipation to the training sessions starting in September, to be led by Chana Tsur, as well as the course for kindergarten teachers. I wish to thank you, Asher and the entire staff of the Haruv Institute, from the bottom of my heart. This is a marvelous partnership and I hope for more joint partnerships and training programs. It is certainly not to be taken for granted and contributes so much to us all, both professionally and personally. The staff came away deeply moved from every session, with many insights, thoughts about our work processes, excitement and the joy of learning. The needs in working with the community of migrant workers are great, often accompanied by a great sense of helplessness and a lack of solutions. Your teaching staff succeeded in connecting with these challenges and in every session renewed the link between theory and the actual field work. The principles of CPP therapy and the approach to children who experienced trauma and to their parents are very relevant to our work at Mesila and many of our workers are already discussing how to integrate many elements from the course into their daily work and how it has given them a much wider perspective and understanding of the various processes.
