NATAL, an apolitical nonprofit organization, is the largest and most comprehensive trauma treatment and resiliency training organization in Israel. It aims to address the prevalent problem of psychological trauma related to terrorism and war.
Since 1998, through its multiple programs, 250 therapists, and 180 highly trained volunteers throughout the country, the organization has changed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people by advancing the resiliency of Israeli society through treatment, prevention, public awareness, and research.
NATAL’s International Work
While NATAL’s work began in Israel, its mission resonates worldwide. In recent years, NATAL has been called upon to deliver its expertise to at-risk communities and populations outside of Israel. As part of that, NATAL has led and participated in groundbreaking work to assist American wounded warriors dealing with PTSD, partnering with inner-city Chicago to assist in dealing with trauma that stems from urban violence, as well as, providing First Responders resilience training.
The Jersey City - Newark - Urban Areas Security Initiative: This program is made possible through the Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) program in order to enhance regional preparedness in major metropolitan areas. The UASI program provides funding to address the unique multi-discipline planning, operations, equipment, training and exercise needs of high-threat, high-density urban areas.
