Sharsheret’s free, confidential and personalized virtual support is now available for English-speaking women, men and families in Israel. 

With Israel-based Sharsheret professionals and volunteers, women and families in Israel can access confidential and local one-on-one emotional support and mental health counseling, patient navigation to work through the complex Israeli medical system, and peer support to connect with other Israeli women facing similar diagnoses.
