NATAL is changing the lives of millions of Israelis by providing support for trauma and PTSD. 

American Friends of NATAL’s (AFN) mission is to support and strengthen NATAL’s important work, providing vital assistance to Israelis suffering from trauma primarily due to terrorism and war, and ensuring the vital health and well-being of Israel for now and for the future.

AFN also engages in innovative collaborations, partnering with US organizations who seek NATAL’s expertise in the field of trauma preparedness and recovery. In doing so, AFN brings NATAL’s  groundbreaking work to aid Americans in returning to productive lives.

“After the terror attack I felt extremely confused, shocked, scared and helpless. Calling the Helpline gave me support. You explained to me why I was reacting the way I was and understood how I felt. Because of you I am on the path to healing.”

“NATAL’s work is not a privilege.
It is a duty if we want our society, our children, to be healthy, thriving and hopeful.”

— Judith Yovel Recanati, Founder of NATAL
