To provide community and family based healing frameworks for the most vulnerable of Israel's young people, preventing their otherwise inevitable institutionalization and their life-long marginalization and underachievement.
Summit's two areas of activity include community-centered rehabilitation for Israel's young mentally ill, as well as the provision of foster homes and supportive services for children whose parents are unable to care for them.
Developing innovative technique steeped in the professional literature and decades of pointed experience, its treatment model for the young mentally ill centers on a comprehensive approach to rehabilitation that sees the intersect between psychological treatment and operative social functionality as the key to recovery.
Summit is further charged with finding family-based residential solutions for Israel's most vulnerable children from across the ethnic spectrum of Israeli society, in both short-term crisis and long-term foster homes. We provide homes and supportive social, welfare, educational and basic human needs services to some 850 children mired in unfathomable disadvantage and for whom effective care is a lifeline to survival and wellbeing.
