Special program “Yaholim”

One of the Family Club activities is a special program “Yaholim”. The experience of Jewish Family Club has shown that some families which have children with both physical and mental problems remain beyond the bounds of the community. It has pushed to the introduction of “Yaholim” program. Summer weekends with participation of such kinds of families significantly facilitated the program’s development. The program provides people with the possibility to live in a community, to communicate with each other and get necessary psychological assistance.
Main tasks of the program comprise Jewish education, strengthening of inner family relations, involving the families which have children with special needs into Jewish life, experience exchanging, mutual, information and psychological support.
Now Lviv and families from the region are active “Yaholim” participants.
And with the help of other programs we are trying to involve children with special needs into community life.
