Relief Israel is a mental health referral service that assists individuals and families facing mental illness by facilitating access to quality and appropriate mental health care, increasing awareness and working to eliminate stigma. Relief provides guidance, education and treatment recommendations to callers throughout Israel. We serve as a bridge between the client and their next steps, providing clarity about what kind of professional would be helpful for their situation. Relief operates an extensive database of clinicians and makes specific referrals based on each client’s unique circumstances. We take multiple factors into account when making a referral. These include clinical needs but also issues such as age, gender, communal affiliation, location and financial considerations. As part of the global Relief system with 9 offices on 3 continents, Relief Israel is playing a vital role in helping local communities find the best mental health care available.
