Haruv annual report 2021

FROM THE DIRECTOR’S DESK

Prof. Asher Ben-Aryeh

I’m pleased and proud to present the annual report for 2021, the second year of Haruv Institue activities held in the shadow of the Covid-19 pandemic. Our momentum in Israel and abroad, undeterred by the pandemic, continued and expanded in 2021. The Institute excelled, strengthening its position as the forefront in Israel and among world leaders in theory advancement, and training professionals in the field of child abuse. The report before you is an account of ongoing success, overcoming geographic and cultural challenges, leading new initiatives, professional advance and reaching greater target populations. All of this was accomplished without compromise. The numbers and data before you tell the story simply. In 2021 the Institute continued to expand its activities as compared to previous years. In the last year we have also held a greater number of programs and trainings and reached a larger audience than planned, while staying within our budget and expanding funding and various collaborations in keeping with the Institute’s strategic plan. Our swift adaptation to zoom training sessions which began in 2020, grew significantly in 2021 with the development of new learning and training programs, and use of virtual platforms to overcome physical limits and distances. We simultaneously expedited a safe return to in-person training, and the flexibility of combining in person, virtual and hybrid training was the basis for an extremely successful year. I would like to highlight the enhancement and development of Haruv on the Air programs, now a permanent part of Institute activities. This initiative continues to expand quickly in both Israel and Haruv-USA in Tulsa, with tens of thousands of professionals having already benefitted and acquired vital and innovative information. The various Haruv on the Air activities were held in Hebrew, Arabic and English, presenting the opportunity to participants from the Arab world and the Palestinian Authority, as well as many other countries (Australia, Europe, the Middle East and North America). Enjoying such great success, these programs soon became a central and ongoing part of Institute activities.
