Today (Monday, October 20, 2025), the first international delegation of therapists from Planetherapy lands in Israel — the free initiative founded by Tal Nir and Ilana O’Malley immediately after October 7th, which has already helped hundreds of Israelis with emotional support online. Now, for the first time, that support is happening face to face.
Now it’s happening on the ground
Starting October 20th, and for an entire week, between 15 and 25 volunteer therapists from countries like Mexico, Canada, the U.S., France, and Spain will arrive in Israel. They will visit areas heavily affected by the security crisis, hold resilience workshops, and collaborate with support organizations such as the IDF, ZAKA unit 360, and local NGOs.
“We see on the streets what’s happening in people’s souls — a heavy cloud of sadness, of anxiety,” said Nir. “This is not the time to give up. This is exactly the time to support, to be present, to contain — even when it’s hard.”
