UJA Federation of NY Takes the Lead
For over three years now, UJA Federation of NY has been the catalytic force in highlighting the need to provide psychological counseling to the victims of terror in Israel. They were the early supporters of Herzog’s Israel Center for the Treatment of Psychotrauma. They have provided major funding for every one of the Trauma Center initiatives. They have helped fund programs to establish a national trauma network; educational programs in the schools; a coalition of trauma agencies throughout Israel; a trauma resources guide for the public in Hebrew, Russian and English; a trauma website, and most recently, the METIV-Walk-In Crisis Center.
