YU Launches New Mental Health Therapy Center in Israel

To fill a critical need for affordable, English-language mental health services in Israel, Yeshiva University, together with Amudim Israel, will open the Jerusalem Therapy Center in September 2022.

Providing professional care for English speakers, gap-year students and Israelis, the Center will offer mental health counseling that has become ever more important during prolonged lockdowns and affiliated stresses caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and other factors.
