“Like a tree a person brakes; Like the tree one reaches upward”
NATAL: Israel Trauma Center for Victims of Terror and War is an apolitical nonprofit organization, founded by Judith Yovel Recanati, who serves as Chairperson, and the late Dr. Yossi Hadar, M.D. NATAL was established in 1998 with the aim of increasing public awareness of National Psychotrauma caused by the Israeli-Arab conflict. This form of trauma differs from other forms, as it is the result of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) stemming from national traumas.
- The Tree Mosaic at the entrance of the NATAL Center, Tel Aviv, symbolises our mission to heal trauma survivors. Like a tree with burned branches they can overcome their emotional wounds and can continue to grow and flourish in other directions. We are thankful to the artist Laurie Recanati for creating this mosaic for us.
