The number of family members caring for children in Israel today is about one and a half million men and women. Most of them not only feel alone in the campaign, but lack the knowledge and training to perform the important role they have assumed, sometimes they don't even know how to recognize the role and this certainly does not make the situation any easier. Teva took it upon herself to help the caregiver family members and for this purpose established the Doagim Community for Caregivers on Facebook, and the Doagim Complex for Caregivers. Knowledge, sharing and support are a driving force that can make dealing easier and that's exactly what we're here for.
