The Otef Lev initiative, a network for resilience and mental health, was established immediately after October 7th, 2023 as a coalition of initiatives that provided initial psychological support to the residents of Israel. The initiative focuses on the practical application of human-centered innovation and professional excellence in times of crisis and promotes the implementation of the Stepped Care model for mental health in Israel.

Our work includes collaboration with non-profit organization and government authorities in the fields of welfare, education, and health. We take part in conferences, create content and professional materials, develop the 'Nafshi' website in partnership with JDC Israel, and lead two flagship programs: The Community Mentors and The PWP-ISRAEL Training.
