The Philadelphia Federation recently published a special feature article and newsletter highlighting headspace Netivot and the partnership established to strengthen the mental health and wellbeing of young people, adolescents, and families across southern Israel.
The article sheds light on the complex reality faced by young people in the region, the critical importance of accessible, community-based support services, and the power of partnerships that turn vision into action.
headspace Netivot was founded on the understanding that young people and adolescents need a safe, accessible space where they can pause, talk, and receive support before challenges escalate into crises. The center provides emotional and mental health support for young people and their families, promotes early identification of distress, and ensures that professional support is available close to home - especially in a region where the need is so significant.
We are grateful to the Philadelphia Federation for its partnership, trust, and ongoing commitment to advancing mental health and community resilience. Their decision to spotlight this work helps raise awareness of the importance of early support and accessible care for young people and families. When partners choose not only to support our mission, but also to share our story, it is especially meaningful.

Imagine a young man named David standing in line at Auschwitz, waiting to be sent to his death in the gas chambers, estimating he has all but an hour to live. Then, in those final harrowing moments, American troops arrive to liberate the camp, and that young man survives.
