About the Program
Gefanim Residences establishes and operates beautiful community homes designed for married couples with special needs who are recognized by the Ministry of Welfare. This unique framework is built upon the profound moral worldview that every individual has the right to build a loving, stable marriage and experience the joy and satisfaction of meaningful family life. We provide couples with a secure, highly-supportive domestic foundation to manage their joint household successfully and build a home together.
Our holistic therapeutic approach regards the married couple as a single, unified family unit while simultaneously honoring, protecting, and supporting the individual development of each spouse. To maintain this healthy dual dynamic, couples participate in regular, scheduled sessions with an outstanding multidisciplinary team, including certified marriage counselors, family social workers, and clinical relationship therapists who provide practical, actionable tools for healthy, sensitive communication and shared responsibility.
Acknowledging that building a home together is an intense process requiring sensitive, long-term guidance, Gefanim specializes in delivering enduring rehabilitative support and expert crisis intervention, particularly during challenging transitions. Our ultimate objective is to cultivate maximum self-reliance within the marriage, enabling couples with special needs to navigate a stable, successful, and deeply satisfying daily routine.
