Our programs

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Sex Abuse Victims Services

Our top priority is to maintain the highest comfort level possible for victims of sexual abuse. Amudim helps them and their families find appropriate therapists and treatment programs and guides them through the complex associated legal process with the utmost delicacy and confidentiality. Whether it is counseling, referrals to therapists, treatment programs, or guidance through the intricacies of the legal process, our driving mission is to help families stay together and teach them how to provide the practical and emotional support that victims need during this challenging time. Having built relationships with numerous clinicians, treatment centers, outpatient programs and more, we are able to use best practices to make the most suitable referrals, an important step in achieving a long term positive outcome. Our caring and knowledgeable staff work tirelessly to identify high-quality options, securing the best care in an affordable manner.

Children and youth
Families

Fighting the substance abuse epidemic requires more than care and knowledge. It requires the ability to act swiftly, in the most professional manner. Amudim’s staff members and extensive network, are able to address crisis situations with speed, skill, and compassion. With access to a wide network of leading treatment facilities, both in the United States and abroad, Amudim helps clients navigate the complex process of admission, and follows up with clients in order to ease their transition back into society after successful treatment. Amudim also provides assistance with insurance companies, expediting the reimbursement process.

Adults
Adolescents

While the word crisis can mean different things to different people, help is always just a phone call away for those facing difficult circumstances. Our dedicated staff understands that every situation is unique and multi-faceted, drawing on years of experience to identify approaches, treatments and other solutions. Be it international burial coordination and autopsy prevention, elderly abuse/ neglect, teen outreach, specialty school placements, or a worldwide network of legal, logistical, medical and government professionals, Amudim provides the resources to manage any crisis.

Population(s) Served
Children and youth
Adults

As prevention is always the key to dealing with serious issues, Amudim’s community awareness events focus on breaking the stigma relating to sexual abuse and addiction. Our events feature presentations on the communal response to these issues and speeches by seasoned professionals and community leaders, who address difficult topics, such as the long term effects of abuse and addiction, with the utmost sensitivity. We endeavor to make our lectures available on the Internet to spread these critical messages as widely as possible. Our speakers are frequently asked to speak at schools, synagogues, government agencies and community organizations.
Many studies have shown the efficacy and potency of social-emotional learning. Amudim created a culturally competent SEL curriculum now implemented in over fifty eight schools to best educate children in growing up in a healthy, safe, and productive manner. SEL programming reduces risks of mental illness and other adverse life experiences.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Amudim's goal it to increase communal awareness of issues that have been denied and neglected, such as child sexual abuse and addictions, while providing comprehensive support to individuals and families.

Amudim's awareness events, attended by hundreds and viewed by thousands online, raise community consciousness about issues that until now were suppressed and denied, particularly Child Sexual Abuse (CSA), addictions, and mental illness. Amudim's emergency crisis line is open 24/7, with immediate dispatching to professional Case Managers trained in crisis intervention. Staffed by 14 professional Case Managers, its resource center provides confidential, individualized, direct support and referrals for individuals, families, and organizations.

By helping people lead healthier lives, their overall wellbeing and personal wellness will also be accomplished. We have also developed a curriculum which is an evidenced-based SEL program, which has proven data to increase the educational experience for students overall, as well as bring up their grades, lead to healthier decision making, and overall success in life. We pride ourselves on partnering with other NGOs as well as government agencies so that we can accomplish our goals in the most efficient and cost-effective manner.

We have a dedicated and involved board of directors, the strong backing of Jewish communal leadership and rabbis, excellent working relationships with major communal organizations, an experienced professional staff, and cutting edge media, communication and social media capabilities.

Amudim has been the leading organization invited to present at major national and international conventions of the clergy, lay leaders, government agencies, and educators on sensitive topics like child sexual abuse, addiction, mental health, and other related topics. It has held over 350 awareness events in local communities across the U.S. attended by over 15,000, individuals, community members, therapists, members of the clergy, and educators. Many events have been live-streamed and posted on the internet; thus far, they have been viewed online by over 250,000. We have also produced 6 award-winning PSA videos, relating to abuse, addiction, mental health, coping skills, and suicide prevention, which have been viewed over 1,000,000 times online. Since its establishment in 2014, Amudim has helped over 9,500 individuals and families by providing comprehensive case management services, as well as access to heavily subsidized expert psychotherapy.
