Haruv Institute - Annual Report 2017

Prof. Asher Ben-Arieh, Executive Director, Haruv Institute

We are happy to present you with our annual report of the Haruv Institute’s activities for the year 2017.

The Haruv Institute is the leading body in Israel, and among the leading institutes in the world, for training in the field of maltreated children. The aim of the Institute is to train professionals, professional aides, investigators, parents and children, while addressing every aspect of the prevention, detection, treatment and rehabilitation of maltreated children – alongside the renewal and development of cutting-edge professional knowledge and its dissemination in Israel and throughout the world. Over 7,000 professionals actively took part in the annual and periodic programs run by the Haruv Institute in 2017 in Israel and abroad: events, seminars, conferences and workshops – in one-day or two-day training programs and in study programs that ran for longer periods. Tens of thousands of people were exposed to the content presented in these venues, transmitted by trained personnel, via written information disseminated by the institute at conventions and training sessions, or through the media, internet and social media. The year of 2017 was a special year for us. On January 9 th , 2017 we opened the Haruv Children's Campus (see the special chapter), which constitutes a major resource for our activities, and presents the Institute with new challenges in developing unique models for work with children-at-risk and imparting this knowledge to all professionals. This report reviews our activities, which we hope you will find interesting. You will find information on the wide spectrum of activities that the Haruv Institute has initiated, developed, conducted and shared. Next to each activity appears its estimated budget.

We will be pleased to receive your feedback and ideas, which could help improve and promote our activities, for the benefit and welfare of children-at-risk.

Sincerely,

Prof. Asher Ben-Arieh Executive Director, Haruv Institute
