Ynet Article: Planetherapy’s First Delegation of Volunteer professionals Lands in Israel – Free Emotional Support from Around the World!
Sharon Kidon interviews Dr. Bat Chen Shachar and Dr. Carol Lieberman, representatives of Planetherapy’s first international delegation, on Ynet TV — an inspiring initiative founded by Ilana O’Malley that, for the first time, enables volunteer professionals from around the world to come to Israel and provide free emotional support to those affected by the war. The volunteer professionals share powerful experiences from the field, the deep connections formed with soldiers and civilians, and emphasize the importance of continuing support now — as calm returns but emotional wounds begin to surface. Planetherapy proves that borders do not stop compassion. Through hundreds of volunteer professionals from 35 countries, an inspiring channel of healing, connection, and humanity has opened — straight to the heart of Israel.
