Who you will help

The 'Hosen' Centre is a holistic health centre, providing mental health care to Israel's diverse populations: men, women, families, new immigrants, and a large Arab Bedouin community. The centre supports more than 400 patients a year who struggle with PTSD, depression, anxiety and schizophrenia. Combining physical and mental therapy, the centre builds personalized programs for each patient, tailored to their specific needs: personal sessions, group therapy, day centre and occupational rehab. This holistic approach is proven to be the most impactful way to help those struggling with mental health to lead healthier and happier lives.

The Hosen Centre is surrounded by an empty plot of land, which needs to be developed into a green space for the patients and staff. Transforming the outdoor space will help patients benefit from more fresh air, reconnect with themselves and family members, and begin integrating back to an independent life.
