How We Work
We engage directly with the field to map the ecosystem, surface insights, and learn from what is happening on the ground.
We listen closely to service providers, community voices, public system leaders, researchers and experts, funders, and innovators to understand the mental health ecosystem from every angle. By examining the full landscape, we identify what is working well, where gaps or duplication exist, where coordination can improve, and what partnerships are possible. Only by understanding the system as a whole can we create meaningful, large-scale, and lasting impact.
Data Collection
ICAR Connect gathers information from multiple sources, recognizing that no single source provides a complete picture.
Sources include GuideStar, organizational websites, government reports, existing research, publicly available data, and direct conversations with mental health professionals and organizational leaders.
This ongoing process helps keep the platform useful, current, and grounded in the realities of the field.
A Collaborative Effort
ICAR Connect is a living platform shaped by the field. It will continue to grow and improve as organizations claim their profiles, update their information, add projects, and share needs.
We invite stakeholders across Israel’s mental health and resilience ecosystem to explore the map, provide feedback, and help strengthen the shared infrastructure needed for coordinated action.
