Jerusalem Hills Therapeutic Centers (JHTC) is Israel’s premier residential treatment facility for emotionally disturbed and abused children. We provide both a warm home and therapeutic framework for over 120 boys and girls ages 7-18, all of whom have been assessed by Israel’s Ministry of Welfare as being at high risk. They have been victims of severe neglect, physical or mental abuse, or rejection and abandonment by their families or caregivers. As a result, the children often exhibit a range of difficult symptoms, including fear, rage, distrust of adults, and destructive or violent behavior.
JHTC was established in 1943 and since then our three facilities, The Children’s Home, The Kemper Group Home and the Goldie Kassel Treatment and Training Center have established themselves and have achieved unprecedented success in rehabilitating and mainstreaming the majority of more than one thousand graduates back into Israel’s normative society. The JHTC’s success lies in its unique therapy programs and outreach projects that have won local and international acclaim.
