Research
At Yad Rachel, we operate with a continuous mindset of inquiry
and self-reflection. This mindset is expressed at all levels of
therapeutic work: from observing organizational-wide clinical
trends to each staff member examining and reflecting on their
personal therapeutic practice as an integral part of daily work.
Over the years, we have developed a therapeutic framework that
includes a monitoring and evaluation system designed to support
data-driven treatment. This system has been integrated into a
network-based digital platform within the CRM system we
developed. The data we collect will enable ongoing research into
our therapeutic processes in the years ahead.

Developing an Updated Therapeutic Framework
We are developing an innovative therapeutic model represented
by the Hebrew acronym MATMON a Focused and Data-Based
Therapeutic System. The Hebrew word Matmon carries a layered
meaning. A matmon is a hidden treasure something precious that
is revealed only through exploration, inquiry, patience, and precise
work. We chose the name MATMON for our therapeutic model
because it reflects the essence of our approach a continuous
search for the most effective and tailored therapeutic response for
each client and family. To read more about Yad Rachel’s
