Bayit Cham - Statement of Beliefs

The Bayit Cham organization was founded with the belief that the mentally challenged
have the right to and are capable of active and equal participation in all spheres of life
and society.

The organization strives to enable the mentally challenged to realize their right to
vocational and ethical satisfaction and to personal fulfillment.
The organization accompanies them on the road to rehabilitation within the community. Achieving maximal independence as part of rehabilitation and integration together with answering the individual needs of each client are a hallmark of the organization.

Bayit Cham believes that the mentally challenged person should be given freedom in making choices for himself and his family but must learn to take responsibility for his decisions. His privacy is respected and every effort is made to preserve his respect.

Successful vocational integration is a significant step on the way to full social, cultural
and financial integration into the community. This holds true for every individual but all the more so for the mentally challenged person. When such a person lives and works within the mainstream community he feels he has what to contribute and this reinforces his mental well - being and increases his integration.

Each person has his own personal potential based upon his values, beliefs, culture, abilities and aspirations. At Bayit Cham we strive to provide the tools for each person to realize his potential. This is achieved by working in cooperation with the patient as well as with relevant authorities and professionals within the community.

In 2003, the Parliament of the State of Israel signed on "The Charter for the Rehabilitation of the Mentally Challenged within the Community" and Bayit Cham works in the spirit of
this charter.
