Conference on the subject: Seeking Help for Children at Risk, for senior counselors at the Psychological Counseling Service (SHEFY) The aim of the conference was to promote activism among the educational staff when seeking help for children at risk in general, and maltreated children in particular. The keynote lecture was given by Gil Noam from Harvard University, U.S.A., who presented a unique tool, the “Holistic Student Assessment” for class mapping of students according to at-risk groups. With this tool, the homeroom teacher will know which students need his help and support, even if they didn’t approach him directly. Prof. Noam’s lecture was followed by a response from Einav Locke, head of the Assistance and Prevention Programs Department, SHEFY, the Education Ministry, who presented the ministry’s view on this subject.
