Mapping Project - ICAR Database

Welcome to ICAR Collective’s Mental Health Ecosystem Mapping Project

The ICAR Collective is proud to present the Mental Health Ecosystem Mapping Project, a comprehensive initiative designed to bring clarity, transparency, and collaboration to Israel’s mental health landscape. Our mission is to create a strategic, data-driven foundation for addressing trauma and mental health needs across the nation.

Why We Created This Map

The mental health crisis in Israel has been exacerbated by the tragic events of October 7th, 2023, leaving millions of individuals grappling with trauma. With over 60% of Israelis exhibiting PTSD symptoms, it has become imperative to understand the resources, gaps, and needs within the mental health ecosystem. Our project provides an accessible, organized view of this ecosystem to support effective, long-term healing.

Data Collection

We collect data from multiple sources, recognizing that no single source provides a complete picture. Our primary resources include GuideStar, official websites of mental health organizations, government reports, and existing research publications. In addition, we conduct interviews with mental health professionals and organizational leaders to gain firsthand insights into service gaps and emerging needs.

Project Scope

The map encompasses six key categories of mental health organizations:

Nonprofit Organizations

HMOs and Government

Private Medical Centers

Startups

Academia

Funders & Corporate Sponsors

A Collaborative Effort

This project would not be possible without the collaboration of numerous individuals and organizations dedicated to mental health and trauma healing. We invite stakeholders to explore the map, provide feedback, and join us in strengthening Israel’s mental health infrastructure.
