MULTIDISCIPLINARY TRAINING IN THE FIELD OF EDUCATION “Neurologic” Initiative for Schools: Helping Children who Experienced Trauma Adjust in Class January – July 2020 (Yuvalim) January 2020 – February 2021 (Bnei Brith) Partners: Yuvalim School in Jerusalem and Bnei Brith boarding school in the Jerusalem mountains Objective: Creating regulated environments for children and youth who experienced trauma. This program was founded by educator Josh McNeil and educational counselor Kathy Van Horn of Lakeside school in Pennsylvania, USA; in collaboration with Dr. Bruce Perry, a psychiatrist and neuroscientist, specializing in trauma effects on children's brains. Lakeside schools are designed for children and youth who did not function at regular schools, and require intensive help to study. This intervention method is suitable for all types of schools. It proposes that children and youth who have experienced trauma will benefit greatly from the program components, while those without trauma background will enjoy or disregard them. The Haruv Institute purchased the rights to this learning program and its dissemination in Israel, translated its materials into Hebrew and offers supervision, instruction and guidance in applying and implementing the method in schools. Target audience: Educational and therapeutic school staff
