NATAL is the go-to organization for trauma treatment in Israel.

Overnight, 9.7 million Israelis need NATAL's help and support. Our national lifeline, NATAL's Helpline, experienced a massive increase in calls, serving more than 5,000 calls daily, requiring many more volunteers and staff than we've ever been asked to field. 

This is only the beginning. Trauma doesn't always leave visible scars, but its effects can be profound. Healing is possible.  NATAL is here to help. 

NATAL urgently needs emergency support to: 

  • Expand Clinical Services:  Accommodate hundreds of new patients.

  • Recruit and Train Additional Volunteers: Expand our Helpline to provide immediate and long-term care.

  • Provide Emergency Psychological Assistance: Support evacuees, organizations, and the public.

Though invisible, these wounds run deep. NATAL's commitment is resolute.

We need your support today to be there for our people.
100% of your donations will go directly to patient care.

Donate today to help NATAL provide critical care and healing. 

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.”
