About This Cause
Avnei Chein provides real-time advocacy and support from the darkest moments of a mental health crisis until individuals and their families are ready to flourish on their own. Our caring, confidential and professional staff will provide guidance and support, every step of the way. Avnei Chein’s professional Crisis Support Team is equipped in mental health crisis management and can be contacted day or night. We are here tonavigate individuals and their families, hand in hand through the complex social welfare, mental health and justice systems to ensure that individualized care is successfully provided as quickly and effectively as possible. In the event of a crisis Avnei Chein’s team supports families by sending in our crisis support managers to assess the needs of the family. These range anywhere from sibling mentoring/tutoring, organizing transportation to medical facilities, ensuring meals and groceries are in the house to a wide range of specific requirements for each individual family. Due to the intense focus on the person in crisis, in many cases the rest of the family’s needs are not even considered. Even if it is, this support is often unavailable. Avnei Chein ensures that this crucial support is in place so that the family structure stays intact. Often, family members of the person in crisis find themselves in trauma due to the harrowing experiences they or their loved ones are facing. Family, sibling or individual therapy may be overlooked. Avnei Chein ensures that any family member in need of counseling and/or therapy will receive the support they need via one of our partner organizations. Although mental health disordersaffect a minimum of 10% of the population across Israel, sadly stigma still permeates many communities. This severe lack of understanding causes increased anguish for the victims and their families as well as reluctance to seek treatment . Avnei Chein seeks to educate the medical community, community leaders, teachers and the general public about the unique issues surrounding mental health. Our goal is to provide easier access to support while creating understanding and compassion within the community at large.
