NATAL’s Response
NATAL’s expertise in treating post-trauma and dealing with mental health during emergencies enables us to provide crucial services at this time:
Helpline (in Israel): NATAL’s toll-free Helpline has opened its services and increased capacity especially for calls from former immigrants from the Ukraine, both Russian and Hebrew speakers, who are deeply concerned about their families in the region. Most of the calls coming into our Helpline are connected to fear and anxiety about the war and its possible outcomes. Our focus is on providing an immediate response for families, parents and children and on offering tools and strategies for reducing stress and anxiety to a range of populations. Training for Israeli and International Helplines – NATAL is currently providing training to Helplines that are not accustomed to offering mental health assistance in real time.
NATAL is translating and sending written, culturally adapted therapeutic materials aimed at helping parents reduce stress, anxiety and fear in themselves and their children.
Helping the Helpers –Emotional first aid and interventions for the aid delegations and organizations on the ground at the Ukrainian borders. We are providing this mental health and emotional support, including processing emotions and strengthening resiliency, for volunteers, shlichim and medical first responders. NATAL is also providing professional training to improve and streamline first responders’ interventions in the field, including guidance on dealing with panic attacks among refugees.

From The Field:

was rescued from Ukraine with my children, and I have support from my company,
but my husband had to stay behind, and I don't know what the future holds for
my family and whether we will ever be able to return home."
