Darca Schools is a pioneering network dedicated to providing high-quality education to students in Israel’s periphery, fostering social mobility and equal opportunities. Operating 45 schools across the country, Darca offers vulnerable students access to top-tier education and a brighter future.
Educators and school staff play a critical role in shaping these communities but often face significant stress and emotional challenges, particularly in times of conflict.
The events of October 7, 2023, and ongoing instability have deeply impacted educators and students alike. Many teachers and school leaders have faced war-related challenges and personal losses, making emotional resilience more essential than ever.
To support these educators and the students they serve, Darca Schools and EmotionAid® are collaborating to implement a science-backed training program focused on self-care and community resilience.
The initiative is being implemented in several phases:
- Phase 1 (January-February 2025): The program launched with an introductory session and a workshop to define the training framework.
- Full Training (May-June 2025): A 30-hour intensive program for 30 members of staff, including teachers and counselors.
- Phase 2 (October-November 2025): A second training cohort of 75 educators.
