ELI

"ELI has been a pioneer in raising awareness of the subject of violence toward children in the Israeli public. One can say that Dr. Zimrin and ELI have succeeded in uncovering this phenomenon which had been a taboo subject in Israelis society. The public struggle which ELI led, has brought about awareness and the recognition of this new and painful phenomenon by the State of Israel and its government. We view ELI as one of the most serious and important bodies in Israel in the field of children at risk in general and abused children in particular. ELI's contribution over the years is an invaluable asset for Israeli society and the country's population of children.” Moti Vitner, Israel Government Ministry of Welfare
“ELI provides a variety of prevention, treatment and other services, including an emergency center for children in need of immediate shelter. These services are very much appreciated by our Juvenile Courts.” Judge Aaron Melamed, Former Chief Justice of Israel’s Juvenile Courts
"Hanita Zimrin is a woman of great courage and talent and has consistently advocated for quality care for children who have been abused. She has been tireless in this endeavor and has developed excellent work." ELI's contribution has always been in identifying problems, looking for solutions and providing ongoing clinical treatment. Israel needs a strong and vibrant ELI to continue providing care and advise to families at risk." Dr Victoria M. Levi, Director of the Janner Child/Family Research and Training Unit
"ELI was the pioneer in raising the issue in Israel and developing professional solutions and capabilities to treate these children. It is a well organized and stable association, and one of the first organizations to join a voluntary process of standardization led by the umbrella organization of nonprofits in Israel. ELI is well recognized for its professional expertise in the field of training child victims of abuse, and is a center for training in this field. Much of its work is important in increasing the number of professionals with an expertise in this area." Yael Shalgi, Director of Allocations - MATAN
"Over the years our relationship with ELI has focused on several levels related to the sexual abuse of children: Consultation, supervision, intervention, assessment and on-going supervision of therapists. ELI is a much-valued institution. It offers highly professional help in this very difficult field of protecting and treating children who have been abused."
