The Eden Association  inaugurated a new treatment center in the heart of the Gaza Envelope communities, following the events of October 7th and the War of Iron Swords. This center provides trauma-focused care for girls and women from the northern Negev and Gaza Envelope regions and is strategically located in Kibbutz Dorot, near the city of Sderot.
Eden Treatment Center operates based on the extensive expertise of the Eden Association in trauma care, utilizing the unique therapeutic approach known as the "Eden Model." The center offers holistic treatment addressing both the body and mind, with personalized and group therapies tailored to the specific needs and challenges faced by women and girls requiring mental health support or a nurturing community environment in the aftermath of recent events.
Additionally, the center offers treatment for women and young adults who have been suffering from complex post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) prior to the war, and whose conditions have worsened as a result.
The center provides a range of individual and group therapies, including psychotherapy, bibliotherapy, art therapy, and DBT skills, among others, all designed to support holistic healing from trauma, both physically and mentally. The center collaborates closely with local resilience centers, health funds, and regional councils.
The activities at the Eden Treatment Center will be accompanied by research and evaluation, which will provide data and insights into the personal and community processes experienced by women in the Gaza Envelope. This will  contribute to the development of a body of knowledge for treating trauma and complex PTSD, both in Israel and globally
