Haruv Institute \u2013 Building a Safe World for Children<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

A national and international center for training, knowledge development and innovation dedicated to preventing child abuse and neglect.<\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Our Vision<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Haruv Institute is a non-profit organization founded by the Schusterman Family Foundation, that has been working since 2007 to promote a world in which every child has the right to live in safety and dignity \u2013 free from violence and neglect. A safe and supportive environment enables child development and well-being and protects children from harm.<\/p>\n

The Haruv Institute is a national and international center for training, knowledge development and innovation dedicated to preventing child abuse and neglect. The Institute leads professional and systemic changes by connecting research, policy and practice. It strives to strengthen the ability of systems and professionals working with children to act in a consistent, coordinated and trauma-aware manner, so that children at risk or who have experienced harm, are identified as early as possible and receive the best, continuous, knowledge-based intervention.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The four lenses of knowledge that guide action<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Children\u2019s rights:<\/strong> Emphasizing that every child is a subject with rights, voice, and agency, and integrating this concept into child-oriented systems.<\/li>\n
  2. Trauma:<\/strong> Working with a trauma-informed approach that recognizes the short- term and long-term effects of the experience of abuse and neglect on children\u2019s development, functioning, and relationships and on the professionals\u2019 encounters with them.<\/li>\n
  3. Child development:<\/strong> Adapting interventions and care to the age, developmental stage, and unique needs of each child.<\/li>\n
  4. Ecological perspective:<\/strong> A multidimensional view of each child, their sources of support and belonging alongside the circles of vulnerability and resilience in all contexts \u2013 family, community, and broader systems \u2013 of their life.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
