Assistance and Support Center
The Assistance and Support Center of the National Council for the Child is a unique service for children and youth in Israel and, when established in 1990, was among the first of its kind in the world.
The Center’s work is grounded in a deep commitment to providing every child in Israel with accessible, sensitive, and professional support — ensuring that they can realize their rights and receive the protection and assistance they deserve.
The Center serves as a central address for children, youth, their families, professionals working with children and youth, and the general public, on any issue or concern relating to children and youth. Each year, the Center assists thousands of children and youth across a wide range of areas: situations of risk and distress, violence and sexual abuse, children in conflict with the law, education rights (including special education), physical and mental health, the digital environment, and more.
Assistance is provided free of charge, confidentially, and in Hebrew, Arabic, and English.
The Center’s team provides professional, sensitive responses to inquiries — offering information and guidance, consultation, referrals or direct contact with relevant agencies, and continuous follow-up until an appropriate resolution is achieved.
The Center’s uniqueness lies in its integration of individual casework with broader policy insights. Alongside providing immediate support to children and families, the Center learns from each case, identifies trends, and raises systemic issues requiring structural attention and policy intervention.
Every inquiry matters — both to the individual child and family, and to the wider effort to promote the rights and well-being of all children and youth in Israel.
