Hibuki Therapy

“Hibuki” means “Open Embrace” in Hebrew. 

Hibuki was developed in Israel in 2006 and has since helped children across the globe to cope with traumatic events. Today, we bring Hibuki to Ukraine through a unique partnership with volunteer psychologists from Ukraine and Israel. 

Hibuki looks like a toy dog, but it is so much more! It is specifically designed to bring comfort and provide a sense of emotional and physical safety.

All Hibuki toys and related therapeutic supports are provided free of charge. Our initiative also includes ongoing training for those who deliver the Hibuki intervention to children in Ukraine and refugee centers in relocation countries. 

It is also an intervention to support the recovery and mental health of children impacted by war trauma. 

Our mission is to ensure that all Ukrainian children who have witnessed the horrors of the war, receive the psychological help and benefits of Hibuki.
