Lior Tsfaty Center for Suicide & Mental Pain Studies

The Lior Tsfaty Center for Suicide & Mental Pain Studies is the first of its kind in Israel. The center, led by Prof. Yossi Levi-Belz, serves as a research/applied knowledge powerhouse in the field of suicide prevention and provides a basis for national and international projects on suicide and mental pain. The vision of the center is to promote the understanding and awareness of suicide in Israel, in order to increase prevention, identification and treatment of suicide cases. The center works in collaboration with Bishvil Hahayim (Path to Life), a nonprofit whose objective is suicide prevention and support for families who’ve lost a loved-one to suicide.
 
The Tsfaty family made a very generous endowment to the center, and in addition established a scholarship fund at the center for research in the field of suicide and mental pain. The donated funds will be used for the center's activities, for the provision of research grants, scholarships for students, seminars and professional conferences and activities to promote awareness, prevent suicide and deepen scholarly knowledge in the field.
