NATAL
Intro
Imagine waking up in the middle of the night drenched in sweat, your heart pounding as memories of a past trauma flood your mind. For countless Israelis touched by terror, war, and personal tragedy, this is a daily reality. That’s where NATAL Israel steps in- the country’s leading trauma and resiliency center dedicated to helping survivors reclaim their lives.
What Is NATAL Israel Trauma and Resiliency Center?
NATAL- short for the National Trauma and Resiliency Center, was founded in 1998 in response to the psychological wounds left by the Oslo terror wave. As a non-profit NATAL organization, it has grown into a national hub, offering professional, evidence-based care to anyone affected by traumatic events. Whether you know it as NATAL Israel, the Natal Organization, or simply the Trauma and Resiliency Center, its doors are open to survivors of terror, veterans, depressed seniors, first responders, and anyone wrestling with PTSD.
The Mission of the NATAL Organization
At its heart, the NATAL organization believes that no one should face the invisible scars of trauma alone. Their mission is threefold:
- Immediate Stabilization – Providing crisis hotlines and rapid, short-term interventions to prevent isolation.
- Therapeutic Healing – Offering individual and group therapy tailored to different age groups and trauma types.
- Long-Term Resiliency – Equipping survivors with coping tools through workshops, community activities, and leadership programs.
By combining clinical expertise with deep empathy, NATAL Israel helps clients survive and rebuild their confidence, relationships, and daily routines.
