RISE Together Healing Victims of Terror
Restoring safety, belonging, and hope.
Restoring Safety, Belonging, and Hope
Adopt a Family Foundation builds meaningful, long-term relationships between U.S. families and Israeli families whose lives have been impacted by terror.
The mission is to provide ongoing care, create a sense of belonging, and ensure that no survivor feels alone in their journey of rebuilding.
Our Partnership with Art Sense
For nearly two decades, Adopt a Family Foundation has trusted Dr. Leetal Benzvi, an internationally recognized expert in trauma recovery, to bring survivors into safe, supportive, and creative spaces where healing can take root.
Why Art Healing Matters

- Engages the brain’s emotional and decision-making centers to process trauma
- Builds new neural pathways toward hope and resilience
- Reduces stress and promotes calm
- Deepens self-awareness and personal growth
