About Us: Center for Mental Health Support
Mental health challenges are universal, affecting individuals and families in every society, including here in the United States.
In Israel, however, prolonged national stress and ongoing security realities have significantly intensified the emotional and psychological impact on the population as a whole. Current estimates suggest that the vast majority of people have been affected — directly or indirectly — through personal experience, family members, or close community ties.
This heightened and widespread impact has created an extraordinary demand for real-time mental health crisis support, coordinated care, and sustained advocacy for individuals and families navigating moments of acute distress.
Center for Mental Health Support acts as the U.S. fundraising and awareness arm of Avnei Chein, a beacon of hope for individuals and families facing mental health challenges in Israel. Our mission is clear: to provide stability and support.
Avnei Chein, established in Israel in 2020, delivers real-time advocacy and support during the most critical moments of a mental health crisis — and continues walking with individuals and families until stability and clarity are restored.
Through comprehensive crisis advocacy and case management, Avnei Chein assigns dedicated Crisis Support Managers who work closely with individuals and their families. These professionals help navigate complex social welfare, medical, mental health, legal, and government systems, ensuring care is coordinated, individualized, and responsive to each person’s unique needs.
Center for Mental Health Support exists to fund and sustain this life-saving work through American philanthropy.
