Youth
The youth domain in the Rimon Farms association contains a sequence of groundbreaking services, for youth ages 12-18 who are at risk.
These services fall along the therapeutic continuum and are created for youth who need full emotional support, some of which have experienced a traumatic event that has deeply impacted their life course.
The services for the teens include agricultural work, school studies, bakery, therapeutic kitchen, workshop, forest area, animal therapy, journeys and more.
The services are comprised of a holistic approach which includes interventions in the individual, group, communal and family setting, all while putting an emphasis on emotional support with a professional staff, while imparting on the teens skills and experiencing what its like running a healthy normative life.
Our outlook which stands in the base of all our plans I the connection to nature, to agricultural work, open space and reaching the teens in a flexible setting throughout the day, according to the teens’ needs and their readiness, all on their way to rehabilitation and healing,
We believe that being productive in the educational and therapeutic environment can be used as a tool for a process to change behavior patterns, deal with difficulties, building resilience and learning lessons.
The work takes place int eh farm setting, as well as in the different municipalities in the Negev.
The events of October 7th and the “Iron Swords” continuous war have caused distress in many teens who were exposed in a direct or indirect way to the horrors of the war. Some have lost relatives and family members.
We as an association, along with our partners, work to provide services to assist the teens who are at risk in the southern region of Israel.
Currently we are founding an extension of the Rimon Farm in the city of Be’er Sheva- a store that will sell the products and crops of the farm, and more items will be prepared, and sold by the teens in Be’er Sheva.
