Makshivim Net was established in 2008 and runs online programs for mental health clients.
The supporters in e-recovery programs aid in everyday life. The goal of these programs is to allow people with mental disabilities to consult with professionals, other disabled, families of people with mental disabilities and to obtain information. Through our work we discovered that despite the developing internet, many find it difficult to cultivate a social circle in the physical world and online. Hence, we established a virtual social model that begins online with the objective to evolve into real life social contact between participants.
It is important to know e-recovery models can have complications and dangerous situations that need to be considered. It's imperative to be aware and able to handle these complications and dangers before working online.
The employment domain is similarly important, so that clients can enter the normal working world and integrate into society. We developed programs that combine technological and human guidance to help in the employment process, from job search to preservation of long-term employment. One program's for people with an academic diploma / professional with the objective to integrate them into their field of study. This model helped to integrate of 82 % of clients in 2015.
Internet communications give support that includes: continuous personal contact, accessibility and availability, characterized by the partnership process. It offers comfort and encouragement, while maintaining the independence that accompanies the client in their employment. It also provides e-peer support from other clients.
