Dyadic Therapy is a therapeutic model which is gaining momentum. By joining children in therapy, parents are able to enter their child's world. Mutual understanding between parents and children, parental empowerment and the furthering of emotional and social development of the children are only some of the achievements. Next year, we plan to increase the number of hours of Dyadic Therapy at our Center. "Snoezelen Room as a Treatment Option" – The Snoezi model used at Schneider Children's Medical Center was presented. Mr. Anthony Vance, Deputy Secretary General of the International Baha'i Community paid an annual visit to our Center, and was very impressed. Jim Morgan and Michal Regunberg, representatives of the Haifa-Boson Connection took a close-up look at our activities. A delegation from Germany, visiting Haifa, visited the Center and expressed their appreciation of all they saw. A 10 year old boy was referred for treatment for Selective Mutism. He started treatment with a speech therapist, who after a few sessions, suggested emotional therapy. An expressive therapist started working with him and made contact with his teacher and school principal, in an effort to co-operate together in the treatment process. The parents were invited to meet with the therapist, but refused. After a few treatment sessions, during which time the therapist worked hand in hand with the school staff, it became apparent that the child is a victim of abuse by his father. The case was reported to the authorities, and the child continues treatment at our Center. We recently started a new process where a family therapist provides counseling for families within the arena of the home. Issues that don't usually surface in regular therapy sessions can, in this way, be addressed. The help offered is concrete and based on the "here and now". Parents are empowered and children are helped within the family framework. Volunteer week in Haifa – volunteers from Carmel Olefins came to the Haifa Center and upgraded the Pet Corner. During the past few months Carmel Olefins volunteers have been renovating the outdoor area of our Early Childhood Center. Special thanks to Stav, a new volunteer in the Special ed Kindergarten, who shows the children so much love and care. She was sent to us through the Haifa Council for Voluntarism.
