Beit Natan programs provide support to cancer patients and their families as they deal with the physical and emotional challenges of the disease. Beit Natan programs include Support Groups, Retreats for Recovery for Women, Couples Retreats, Telephone Helplines, Caregiver Training and Support, Home Hospice Volunteers, Support Groups for Teens Who Have Lost a Parent, and Careers After Cancer. Our clientele comes to us from throughout Israel, and many of our programs have waiting lists. 

Beit Natan Therapeutic Retreats for Couples are designed to provide couples in which one spouse has been diagnosed with cancer with an opportunity to participate in a three-day vacation that will promote recovery and improve their quality of life.  The programs, seminars and activities of the retreat offer a temporary refuge from the stresses of everyday life, enabling participants to recharge their emotional and physical energy, strengthen the marital relationship, and hopefully develop a new sense of self-awareness and a positive outlook for the future while enjoying entertainment, excellent food, and peaceful, pastoral surroundings. There is also ample time to relax and to meet others dealing with similar circumstances. Participants agree that the Couples Retreat is energizing and enables them to better cope with the struggle ahead.  There is a waiting list of couples hoping to participate in the Couples Retreat. With your help, Beit Natan will be able to offer the Retreat to more couples dealing with cancer.
