Join AHAVA
The home of Israel's ACT and contextual behavioral science community.
Israel's community of therapists working from contextual behavioral approaches — ACT, DBT, FAP, CFT, PBBT and RFT — is growing and taking shape. To support this growth and give it a stable foundation, we founded AHAVA: a creative, sharing, supportive professional home.
AHAVA is built from within the community and for it. Membership fees allow us to expand the organization's activities and offer meaningful content to members — an invitation to be not only consumers of knowledge, but its creators, supporters and leaders.
