The Haruv Institute

The Haruv Institute is Israel's leading training and research center and one of the preeminent institutions worldwide in the field of child abuse and neglect. The Institute was established in 2007 to train professionals, paraprofessionals, researchers, parents and children on the prevention, identification, treatment and rehabilitation of abused and neglected children, and to develop and disseminate advanced professional knowledge in Israel and throughout the world. The Institute’s uniqueness lies in its multi-disciplinary and comprehensive approach to child abuse and neglect, in the medical, legal, mental health, educational and social arenas. The scope of the Institute's activities has grown over the years. It has expanded its collaboration with professionals in the field in Israel and internationally, and has significantly increased the scope and diversity of its training and other activities. At the same time, the Institute continues to be committed to investing significant efforts to insure further growth in these areas, while also working towards expanding the diversity of its target populations, with a particular emphasis on increasing its activity within the educational system. In this context, and as always, we welcome ideas and suggestions for additional cooperative efforts
