Meet Kayla Frenkel.

Kayla is a student social worker at Kav L'Noar — and one of the people behind the opening of our Efrat clinic. Today she works as a therapist with Anglo teenagers in Efrat, and if you ask her why she does this work, her answer is simple.

"The moment I knew this work mattered was when I saw how much can change for someone when they feel understood, supported, and not alone in what they are going through."

That's it. That's the whole reason.

Kayla believes something that drives everything we do at Kav L'Noar — that the teenagers who walk through our doors aren't broken. They're not problems to be managed. They are genuinely looking to grow, develop, and become the best versions of themselves. Our job is to help them get there.

When she's not in session, Kayla is planning her next trip. A few years ago she traveled to Guatemala and El Salvador through a university program — learning about healthcare systems and social determinants of health while immersing herself in new cultures and perspectives. The same curiosity she brings to the world, she brings to every client she sits with.

We're proud to have her on our team.

Numbers don't lie.

88% of the youth we serve report feeling more comfortable around friends and family. 82% feel more cared for and supported. 74% feel better able to cope with difficulties.

These aren't estimates. These are the words of the children and teens in our programs that are measured at the start of the school year and again at the end, after treatment.

This is what excellence looks like in a mental health program. And this is the standard we hold ourselves to in every school, every clinic, every SEL group, across all our cities and programs in Israel.

We are proud of these numbers. And we are hungry to make them even better.

Your donation doesn't just keep this work going. It funds the clinical supervision, the training, and the infrastructure that pushes these numbers higher and reaches the children who aren't yet in them.

107,000 children, teens, and families served since 2023.

That number blows us away every time we say it out loud.

And then we remember: there are nearly 2 million children and teens in Israel. And most of them don't have access to what we provide.

130+ schools. 1,975 SEL sessions. Three years of showing up, through COVID, through October 7th, through the Iran attacks. The demand has never been higher and we have never been more ready to grow.

107,000 is not the finish line. It's proof that we can do this at scale.

Help us reach the next 107,000.

A few months ago I slipped into the back of a classroom to watch one of our SEL sessions.

Chairs were set up in a circle. The facilitator was quietly placing a notebook on each seat before the kids arrived. No fanfare. Just preparation.

Then the kids walked in.

They were smiling. They went straight to their seats. No resistance, no eye-rolls, no convincing needed. Within minutes they were writing — each one putting down the feelings they were carrying that day and why.

I'll be honest, it surprised me. These are kids. In a school. Being asked to write about their emotions. I expected at least some pushback.

I asked the facilitator about it afterward. She said it took a few weeks at the start. Building trust, establishing that what's said in the room stays in the room. But once that clicked — it clicked. The kids started seeing it in their friendships, in how they handled conflict, in how they talked to each other outside the session.

They don't come reluctantly anymore. They come ready.

In Q1 2026 alone, Kav L'Noar ran 52 SEL cohorts across 39 schools — 232 sessions where kids walked in ready.

This is what prevention looks like before a crisis ever starts.

This is why we do the work.

If you want to make sure every school in Israel has a room like this one — we'd love your support.

A manager pulled me aside this week and told me about a kid who came back to school after the Iran attack.

His mentor asked how he was doing. He said he was okay. And then, unprompted, he started explaining why. He'd used the tools from his sessions to stay calm during the missiles. He even tried to teach them to his younger sister.

His parents told us they were impressed. They were proud.

I smiled when I heard that. This is why we do the work.

In Q1 2026, we reached 13,874 children, teens, and families. 39 schools. 52 SEL cohorts. 2,308 clinic sessions. 1,376 school treatment sessions.

Every one of those numbers is a kid who has tools now. Tools they keep. Tools they teach.

Gila Ashkenazy spent a year in the Australian outback mustering cattle on horseback. Sleeping under the stars. Moving livestock across open pasture. Protecting them from wild dogs with a rifle.

She is now our Director of School Programming.

The through line, if you ask her, is straightforward: you read what's in front of you, you move with it, and you never assume that what worked yesterday will work today.

That's how she runs our SEL programs across Israel. Not from a manual. From attention.

Gila doesn't think in terms of problems to fix. She thinks in terms of strengths to find. Every child who comes through a Kav L'Noar program arrives with something — a capability, a resilience, a way of seeing the world that the adults around them have often stopped noticing. Her job, as she describes it, is to pinpoint what's already there and build from it. Values up. Not problems down.

She came to this work through a conviction that formed long before she joined us. She spent years in a foundation focused on social innovation — on prevention rather than treatment. On catching people before the fall rather than picking them up after it. "Over time," she says, "when we catch up with treating people after the fact, we'll be working on preventing the trauma from setting in. Young people will know what to do with challenges."

That belief sits at the core of everything she builds at Kav L'Noar.

"I wish people understood how strong children are," she says. "How interesting they are. How well they cope when someone actually sees them. We hear them."
She's also honest about what gets in the way. Teachers who are too rigid. Systems that have run out of patience. Adults who have decided who a child is before giving them a chance to show something different. Gila's answer to all of it is the same: stay flexible, stay curious, and never mistake a child's behavior for their ceiling.

She describes what she does every day not as managing programs but as building something — constantly. "I love to build. I love to see improvement. Neither time, opportunities nor people stand still. They shift and we need to work in sync."

That restlessness is exactly what this work requires.

One school at a time. One group at a time. One child who finally feels seen.

Meet Ari.

Over the past 2.5 years, he and his fellow reservists spent more than 400 days in and out of active duty. The uniforms came off. The weight didn't.

This year, Ari is running the Jerusalem Marathon to raise money for mental health care for IDF soldiers — through Kav L'Noar.

His words: "I will run for my fellow soldiers, for the friends who share the memories, burdens, and sacrifices. And I will run for every soldier still carrying the impact of their service."

We think that says it all.

Support Ari's run and help us get every soldier the care they deserve. 👇

"My child won't open up in a group. They need privacy to share."

We hear this all the time from parents.

Here's what actually happens: When kids see peers sharing similar struggles, they feel SAFER to open up. "If they feel this way too, maybe I'm not weird."

Connection creates courage.

We created this post to bust 8 common myths about group therapy and SEL (Social-Emotional Learning) that keep kids isolated.

Swipe through to see all 8 👉

At Kav L'Noar, 52 SEL group cohorts meet every month across Israeli schools. We've seen thousands of kids walk in feeling broken and walk out realizing: I'm not weird. I'm not alone. I'm just human.

That's the power of group therapy.

Save this. Share it with parents who need to see it.
