Art Therapy for Healing Ukrainian Immigrants

Hi! We are a fund "Mission Blessing" -a registered UA-based nonprofit organization( identification code :34315544) was founded 16 years ago

Our mission for a currently project ART (Aided Relaxation and Togetherness):

To help Ukrainian immigrants in Israel heal and dbuild resilience through art therapy.

Problem: Ukrainian immigrants in Israel are facing a number of challenges, including:

• Emotional isolation and loneliness: Immigrants may feel isolated and lonely in their new country. They may miss their friends and family back home, and they may find it difficult to make new friends in their new community. This can lead to feelings of depression, anxiety, and social withdrawal.
• Lack of friends: Immigrants may not have many friends in their new country. This can be due to a number of factors, such as language barriers, cultural differences, and social isolation. Lack of friends can make it difficult to feel supported and connected, and it can also make it difficult to adjust to a new life in a new country.
• Trauma from moving to a new country: Immigrants may have experienced trauma as a result of moving to a new country. This trauma can be due to a number of factors, such as war, persecution, or natural disaster. The trauma of moving to a new country can manifest in a number of ways, including anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and other mental health problems.

Market size/opportunity: There are an estimated 30,000 Ukrainian immigrants in Israel. This number is expected to grow in the coming years.

Company/product: ART (Aided Relaxation and Togetherness) is a project that provides art therapy sessions for Ukrainian immigrants in Israel. Art therapy is a proven method for helping people express their emotions, connect with others, and build resilience.

1.Express their emotions through art
