Federation-Funded Community-Based Mental Health Centers Helping Israelis Heal

Israel is experiencing a national mental health crisis as a result of the events of October 7, and Federation is responding with Community-Based Mental Health Centers. Through the Israel Emergency Campaign, our Federation and Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA), in collaboration with Israel's Ministry of Health, have already opened 18 centers throughout the country, with two more coming in September. They provide essential mental health services based on evolving local needs for all age groups — from children to adults. Clients include those affected by October 7 and the ongoing war, such as released soldiers and security forces, wounded soldiers, Nova Festival survivors, returning evacuees, hostage families and victims of terror. Four centers focus on trauma therapy for children and youth. A variety of methodologies and formats are offered, including individual, couples, family and group therapy. The centers are part of the JFNA Rebuild Israel initiative, which also addresses education and supports reservists and their families.
