Establishing The National Family Crisis Support System
On October 7th 2023, hundreds of thousands of Israeli families underwent a fundamental crisis.
Bereaved families, families of the hostages, families of the wounded, and tens of thousands of other Israeli families experienced the attack as a life changing traumatic event. Many even had to evacuate their homes and move to other temporary locations.
As the war broke out, the Israeli spirit, with all its inner strength, rallied to support the war effort.
In a most unusual and inspiring way, Israelis from all sectors, beliefs and economic backgrounds volunteered and offered help.
At the same time, the situation created a few enormous challenges:
Overload of
Information
and help
Matching volunteers and needs
Rapid erosion of volunteer forces
Inefficiency
within the governmental bureaucracy
:Now, more than ever – the solution
Establishing a National Support System for Families in Crisis
A system whose goal is to prevent families from becoming dependent on welfare.
Instead we’ll enable their rehabilitation by the community, using the technology.
In this system, family caregivers routinely assist the family with:
Mapping and prioritizing the family's needs
Utilizing government resources and rights
Ongoing connection to the community
At any given moment, the technology makes it possible to create a reliable picture of needs and to address them.
This is the Enola* App
*The opposite of Alone
Over the past few weeks we have established pilots of family support systems in 3 locations:
Jerusalem
We trained the first volunteer team which will accompany refugee families staying in Jerusalem hotels.
Sderot
In collaboration with the municipality, we hired a social worker who provides accompaniment and support to surviving family members.
Ofakim
We trained volunteers for family support, volunteers who work with local social services and other organizations.
By conducting these pilots, we will be able to create a national support system in collaboration with governmental and philanthropic organizations.
