The University of Haifa has established the National Center for Suicide Training and Care, led by Prof. Yossi Levi-Belz, backed by a transformative $9 million gift from the U.S.-based Overlake Foundation. The center will build an advanced national infrastructure for evidence-based suicide prevention, training, and clinical excellence. By training thousands of professionals through cutting-edge, AI-driven simulation and innovative learning technologies, the initiative bridges scientific innovation with human connection to elevate mental healthcare and reshape public awareness.
