MULTIDISCIPLINARY TRAININGS IN THE FIELD OF EDUCATION

Neurologic Initiative at Arazim School and Omer Comprehensive Schools Assisting children who experienced trauma to regulate in their classes October - December 2021 This program was founded by educator Joshua MacNeill and educational counselor Kathy Van Horn, of Lakeside schools in Philadelphia, USA; in collaboration with Dr. Bruce Perry, psychiatrist and neuro-science, who specializes in the effect of trauma on children’s brains. Lakeside schools are designed for children and youth who did not function properly at regular schools, and require concentrated learning assistance. This intervention method is applicable in all schools and presumes to significantly help children and youth who have experienced trauma, while students without trauma background will either enjoy it or disregard it. Haruv Institute acquired the rights to the program and distribution in Israel, translated all materials into Hebrew and offers support, guidance and instruction in applying and implementing the program in schools.
