Ongoing supportive empowerment for families with chronic illness

 The Ta'am Hachaym  Project..
"Ta'am Hachaym" means "the essence of Life",or "the poent of life".
we are all here to find out what is our own individual Ta'am Hachaym...

In Israel, most of the  families with chronic illness, often called "caregivers", are not being served by the community welfare advocates, although they are integral part of society, capable to contribute to the community and in a need of its support.

chronic patients' family members fall between two chairs
on one hand  they are not being served by the welfare offices -and on the other hand,
the public Health service fails to assist them with community support.
Once a patient and his or her family are out of the clinic, they are on their own 
  

   At the Ta'am Hachaym project we establish support,empowermwnt & leisure centers,and operate modular programs that combines Art and Nature therapy with Resileincy developing, to create social support ,generate self Help tools and promote healthy community leadership.
 
 The defference we make  together with the families  and the communities,
leads to better communication skills, raises self esteem and improoves efficiency
in copping with chronic stress

 
Target populations are parents, spouces, children's or sibling's of chronic patients ,residing mostly at peripheral and rural regions of Israel.
allmost 40% of the participants come from  families with lower than the median income at the  community
