  are intended for children affected by the tragic events on and following 
 October 7\, 2023\, to slow or stop the onset of new cases of PTSD. These a
 rt-based kits are designed by psychiatrists\, emergency first responders\,
  art therapists\, artists\, teachers and parents combining the most recent
  research and best practices in dance\, drama\, play and art therapy combi
 ned with the input of care-givers and on the ground medical personnel. Eac
 h Kit is intuitive to use either by the child alone or is heightened by sp
 ecific\, simple instruction for the adult.\n\nAnshe Emet has committed to 
 providing 50 kits to children affected by the events of October 7.  Each 
 kit costs $65. This amount covers all supplies and shipping directly to 
 Israeli children.  We hope you will consider sponsoring one or more kits
  to support this extremely important cause.  \nRegister Here for All the
  Fun\nArtists 4 Israel’s Healing Arts Kits are designed by psychiatrists
 \, emergency first responders\, art therapists\, artists\, teachers and pa
 rents combining the most recent research and best practices in dance\, dra
 ma\, play and art therapy combined with the input of care-givers and on th
 e ground medical personnel. Each Kit is intuitive to use either by the chi
 ld alone or is heightened by specific\, simple instruction for the adult. 
 The items inside are deceptively simple\, while seemingly just play\, are 
 specially created by this team to serve all parties affected by the trauma
 .\n\nCreated by psychiatrists\, therapists\, first responders\, parents an
 d teachers and based on a combination of cutting-edge science and on the g
 round experience working with Israeli children living through rocket attac
 ks from Gaza\, Artists 4 Israel’s Healing Arts Kits intend to slow or st
 op the onset of new cases of PTSD. They are an emergency\, psychological f
 irst aid tool that works through defusing the neurological process that so
 lidifies trauma. During crises\, individuals experience new and terrifying
  sights\, sounds\, smells\, physical sensations and emotional pain. PTSD s
 ets in when a person's brain is unable to process all the stimuli in a saf
 e manner which results in a feedback loop in the mind and memory. The Heal
 ing Arts Kits create specific\, alternative sensations which create a cons
 tructive distraction\, stimulate self-healing and\, interrupt the feedback
  loop. Available immediately\, the Kits work in the critical first 30 seco
 nds and 30 minutes when traumatic memory is permanently stored. After rigo
 rous review\, The Healing Arts Kits have been used and endorsed by many to
 p psychological and educational institutions\, including the Israel Center
  for the Treatment of Psychotrauma\, the Israel Trauma Coalition\, United 
 Hatzalah\, WIZO and\, the Israel Ministry of Education.\n\n
