Each week the LEA ZEV SHILMAN & JOSEPH ZUNIA SHILMAN THERAPEUTIC PROGRAMS at CHW Hadassim receive referrals from the Child Welfare Authority. While some of the children continue to live at home during treatment, other children are placed in CHW Hadassim’s Family Units and Dormitories because their home environments are unsafe and unstable. 

A parent’s involvement inevitably decreases when their child is staying in the dorms, so this program was created to ensure children stay in contact with their parents through specialized therapy sessions and family excursions, while also receiving the emotional, social, and educational support they need to thrive. 

This program was previously known as the Healing Broken Families program.
