The leaders of Dor Hemshech of Keren Hayesod Chile dedicated Ben Yakir’s new therapy center in early June.

The three room facility contains an office each for the village’s social worker and psychologist as well as a treatment room for Ben Yakir’s programs such as music, art and animal therapy.

In recent years the village has increased its use of therapy as an effective way of decreasing behavioral problems and increasing the scholastic motivation of the children.
