Blavin Family Emergency Centre for Children at Risk at Hadassim

Children up to age 18 who have suffered severe trauma at home are brought to this new centre, sometimes in the middle of the night. They arrive at the centre pursuant to a court order to be protected from their parents.

For a period of 3-6 months, these children at risk are kept separate from the rest of the school. During that time, under the care of a multi-disciplinary professional team, the children are counselled, calmed and evaluated. This team determines if a child can return to a capable parent or if the child will be integrated within the community at Hadassim and placed within a Foster Family Unit.

This Emergency Centre at Hadassim was built out of necessity for severely traumatized children.

The children depend on your support.
