The Summit Institute was established in 1973 and has worked to promote and rehabilitate mentally ill young adults through unique and groundbreaking programs ever since. Summit offers personalized psychosocial rehabilitation programs using groundbreaking treatment methods.

 

For the last 15 years, the Summit Institute has also been responsible for foster care in Israel’s Jerusalem and Southern regions, helping hundreds of at-risk children who are no longer able to live at home, whether due to the parents’ choice or a court order. Our foster care services include a network of thirteen emergency shelter foster families who serve as an immediate solution in times of crisis. Summit also identifies and trains new foster families so that they are able to provide warm and welcoming homes for children around the country.

 

Additionally, Summit operates the Mahut Therapy & Guidance Center for the parents of adolescents in Jerusalem
