Having led the care of returned hostages \u2013 work recognized internationally, including at the White House \u2013 Shilo will share rare, firsthand insights into the journey from trauma to healing, and how Sheba\u2019s care extends far beyond the bedside. Additional voices from Sheba will also contribute to the evening\u2019s conversation.<\/p>\n
At a time when the need for mental health support is greater than ever, Sheba is leading critical initiatives, including the establishment of a clinic for children in northern Israel who are suffering post-traumatic stress disorder. Proceeds from the May 7 event will support these efforts, as well as the Bibas Healing Gardens \u2013 therapeutic environments inspired by Yarden Bibas, a survivor of the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attacks on Israel. Bibas was held hostage for 484 days, separated from his wife and two young children, who were murdered by Hamas during their captivity.<\/p>\n
The Bibas Healing Gardens will support women and children through counseling, emotional care and nature-based healing. These restorative spaces will serve hundreds of families each year as part of their long-term rehabilitation journey.<\/p>\n
The Sheba Promise Journey event will begin with an exclusive VIP reception and meet-and-greet, followed by a curated theatre-style program designed to inspire, inform and connect. Sponsorship opportunities and tickets are available, and everyone is invited to join the event and\/or support the initiatives. The Sheba Promise Journey also takes place in Toronto (May 4) and Montreal (May 5).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n For a reminder of Sheba\u2019s September event in Vancouver, go to jewishindependent.ca\/innovative-approach-to-care<\/a>.
