The Emunah Children's Centre strives to provide the children with a safe and nurturing environment, at the same time enhancing parent-child relationships to help the parents in developing parenting and conflict solving skills. The Emunah Sarah Herzog Children's Centre in Afula is a residential and day-care intervention program, providing a continuum of therapeutic and educational services to 200 children at risk, aged 3-18, primarily from Afula and Israel's north. Many of our children, both Israeli born and new immigrants, have experienced serious neglect, instability and abuse in their short lives, often at the hands of those who are supposed to love and nurture them. The Emunah Children's Centre strives to provide the children with a safe and nurturing environment, at the same time enhancing parent-child relationships to help the parents in developing parenting and conflict solving skills. For many children is it the first time in their lives that someone cares enough for them, cry with them when they are sad, laugh with them when they are glad, to say no and mean it, say "I promise" and fulfill it, to look for them when they run away, to be the family for which they yearn.
