Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The bill establishes a national authority for mental resilience and trauma that will operate under the Ministry of Health. The authority will set professional standards for the activity of resilience centers across the country, manage a national knowledge base, and develop training programs for professionals including social workers, psychologists, police officers and emergency teams. The response will be provided in three circles: national (essential bodies), local (through local authorities required to set up resilience units), and primary (response teams and community actors). The authority will report to the government and the Knesset on the state of national resilience.
