“Hope on the Mountain” is a private center for individuals seeking a different kind of treatment—one based on attentive listening, partnership, and the creation of a personalized intervention plan for each individual.
“Hope on the Mountain” is a balancing residential home, the third facility of the “Beit Shel Tikva” (House of Hope) Group.
The home is located in the pastoral community of Michmanim in the Galilee, near the city of Karmiel.
The home is designated for women coping with eating disorders and complex post-traumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD).
The stay at the home lasts at least three months and is intended for individuals who are actively coping with an eating disorder, require an alternative to hospitalization, and wish to avoid inpatient admission.
Our guiding philosophy and therapeutic intervention are based on the recovery-oriented approach, the strengths-based approach, and the shared decision-making model.
The center enables therapeutic work with families using the Open Dialogue approach and views crisis as a life crossroads—an opportunity for growth and personal development.
Currently, the home has official arrangements in place, and treatment is provided free of charge to clients of the Ministry of Defense – Rehabilitation Department, as well as to members of Maccabi Healthcare Services and Leumit Health Services.
At Hope on the Mountain, you will receive a comprehensive, rehabilitative therapeutic framework every day,
in a warm, home-like and intimate atmosphere, accompanied by a professional team of therapists and counselors.

Continuation Plan
Providing
immediate assistance
The first meeting takes place within 24 hours of the initial contact.
Flexibility and mobility
Using approaches and intervention tools tailored to the situation.
Building a social support network
Patients, their family members, significant others, and the care team are all partners—committed to and invited to participate in the meeting.
Dialogism
Creating dialogue among the partners in the process is a primary goal and constitutes the core of the treatment.
Mindfulness
In Hebrew, “mindfulness awareness” refers to attention that can be developed through training and practice. It is a non-judgmental awareness, consistently directed toward what is occurring.
Continuity
The same team is responsible for both the treatment and the social network. The social network remains the same throughout the entire intervention process. Therefore, hospitalization is rarely proposed to the individual and the family, in order to preserve continuity.
Tolerance for uncertainty
The team accompanying the family approaches from a position of not-knowing, and therefore demonstrates curiosity, a desire for understanding and learning, and remains with the individual and the family as part of the social network.

Foundations of the approach
The “Open Dialogue” approach is based on three core
beliefs regarding the process that takes place:
Openness
Crisis and pain are the result of our relationships with the people closest to us. As a consequence of how partners in the relationship experience the connection, a sense emerges of a relationship lacking love and honesty. Open Dialogue requires trust, acceptance, respect, and equality. All of these are fostered through honesty, compassion, and processes of discovering both the other and the self.
Uniqueness / Authenticity
The more the therapist is close to themselves—to who they are and what they represent as a person—without emphasizing their expertise over that of others, the greater the likelihood that change will occur and that the patient will undergo an effective process of recovery and empowerment (Rogers, 1990). Therefore, Open Dialogue holds that the common ground shared by participants as human beings is a crucial foundation for the process, without relying on definitions and frameworks that create distinctions between partners within the support network
Compassion and unconditional acceptance
Non-judgmental acceptance of the patient’s behavior, emotions, and their way of experiencing, perceiving situations, and functioning in the world (Seikkula & Trimble, 2005).
Success figures
from an article on Open Dialogue
80%
Approximately 80% of the patients
returned to full functioning and reintegrated into society
82%
In 82% of the participants,
the symptoms almost completely disappeared
86%
86% of the patients
successfully integrated into employment
(Seikkula et al, 2006., Seikkula & Olson, 2003)
The adoption of the approach led to a significant reduction in the use of diagnoses identifying individuals as coping with schizophrenia. The number of hospitalizations and their duration were markedly reduced, and mutual trust developed between service users and therapists.
