Description

The aim of the project is to offer 60 Holocaust survivors originating from Austria who are currently being treated by AMCHA, and 55 other survivors who were interned in Austria during World War II in Mauthausen and its satellite camps, a broad spectrum of psycho-social services. The following services continue to be offered: psychotherapy, psychosocial clubs for communal support, and home visits by qualified social workers. In order that the program be implemented in AMCHA’s centers throughout Israel the National Fund is requested to continue to subsidize this project.

Folgende Dienstleistungen werden weiterhin angeboten: Psychotherapie, psychosoziale Klubs zur gemeinschaftlichen Unterstützung sowie Hausbesuche durch qualifizierte SozialarbeiterInnen.
