On October 25th, Planetherapy, in partnership with Birthright (Taglit) and social activist Ravit Ravid, hosted a unique support evening dedicated to our soldiers and their partners. Held in a stunning private villa, generously donated for the occasion, the event balanced a well-deserved reprieve with deep, professional care focused on the couples’ journey.
The evening began with a festive gourmet dinner, leading into professional sessions designed to bolster mental and relational well-being:
- Couples Workshop with Dr. Shari Geller: An international expert and key member of the Planetherapy team, Dr. Geller led a specialized workshop for couples. She provided practical tools for strengthening communication and shared resilience within the relationship.
- Individual Emotional Support: Our certified volunteer professionals offered one-on-one “emotional first aid” sessions. Among the dedicated professionals who volunteered for this mission was Yuval Raphael’s mother, a skilled volunteer professional who provided a safe and containing space for the soldiers and their partners.
This event captures the core of Planetherapy’s mission: mobilizing global expertise, collaborating with organizations like Birthright, and harnessing the hearts of local professionals to ensure our soldiers and their families receive the highest level of emotional support.
