This course is designed for parents and family members of individuals facing mental health challenges

At the core of the Keshet course lies the dynamic cognitive approach, which holds that every person has the capacity to change, provided they have an enabling environment, support, choice, and learning tailored to their needs. Keshet is based on the teachings of Prof. Feuerstein and his student, Prof. Naomi Hadas Lidror, along with the team: Dr. Penina
Weiss, Dr. Dorit Radlich, Andrea Rapaport, and others.
