Amcha: mental health care at the Netanya Center and at home
Founded in 1987, Amcha is the biggest Israeli organization offering survivors and their families psychological and social support and providing psychological follow-up at home.
It has 15 centers where clinical psychologists, social workers, psychiatrists and other therapists provide mental health care. They also organize social reinsertion programs, intergenerational activities, Holocaust commemorations and celebrations of Jewish holidays.
The group currently helps nearly 20,000 survivors.
The Foundation for the Memory of the Shoah has backed the Netanya Center since 2003. In 2016, it also contributed to the development of a program offering psychological support at home to ease the depression and suffering of Holocaust survivors
