PEIMOT – HEARTBEATS

Helping parents at-risk to provide their
babies with a healthy and safe home

PEIMOT – HEATBEATS is an intervention program for families in underprivileged communities in Israel with babies under the age of three. It offers a multi-level guidance designed to improve the family life and dynamics at home long-term and create emotional stability for all family members.

  • Young parents at-risk in Israel’s low socio-economic areas who are deprived of a support system of family/community are left feeling overwhelmed and alone
  • Some of them didn’t experience a healthy childhood themselves and lack basic, healthy parenting skills
  • Emotionally stable parents, a functioning home and a safe environment are essential conditions for the healthy upbringing and well-being of a child.

THE PROGRAM

  • Highly qualified mentors accompany families for two years
  • Home visits and group sessions help the parents improve their knowledge and skills and boost their parenting ability
  • Help in connecting with community resources to create a network of support.
