Why a Sad Toy Works

Meet the Doll

Uniquely designed with a sad expression and elongated arms. Hibuki allows children to project their trauma onto the doll, shifting their role from helpless victim to active caregiver.

The Mirror Effect

Unlike happy toys, Hibuki's sad expression invites children to project their own pain onto the doll, bypassing their defense mechanisms.

The Velcro Embrace

Elongated arms with velcro snaps are designed to wrap around the child, providing physical grounding and a sense of safety during panic attacks.

Active Caregiving

By caring for the puppy, the child shifts from being a helpless victim to an empowered healer, rebuilding their lost sense of control.

What is Hibuki therapy?
Hibuki (My Hug) is an evidence-based therapeutic intervention that empowers traumatized children to heal by caring for a specially designed sad puppy doll.\n\nBy comforting the doll, the child projects their own feelings onto it, shifting their role from a passive victim to an active caregiver. This unique process helps children process pain, reduces PTSD symptoms, and builds long-term resilience.
Who can benefit from this?

Children who have experienced traumatic events (war, displacement, terror, accidents, abuse, loss), and the caregivers/therapists supporting them, can benefit from Hibuki's structured, comforting process.

How does my donation help?

Your donation helps fund the dolls, therapist training, field implementation, and ongoing support so more children can receive evidence-based trauma care quickly and safely.

What is included in the Hibuki therapeutic intervention?

Each intervention is designed as a comprehensive clinical protocol to support a child’s recovery. This includes the physical Hibuki therapy doll, an official clinical guidebook for the child, three intensive one-on-one sessions with a specialized trauma psychologist, and a dedicated guidance session to equip parents with essential coping tools. Our goal is to provide this complete envelope of care to 15,000 children affected by the events of October 7th.
