Unprofessional - Needs to be shut down

I was a fellow in the 2021- 2022 cohort. I have only now gotten to the stage where i have been able to move on to the point where i can speak objectively about my experience. To cut a long story short i will summarize my horrific experience in the following points:

- Faced discrimination for not being jewish and had anti-christian rhetoric thrown at me (As at the time i was christian). Before i even got to israel i had rumours made up about me and i faced hatred and vitriole

- Was put in very inapproriate and potentially incriminating situations such as being asked to be with a minor with severe mental health issues unsupervised in his home along with his sister who was also a minor.

- Faced bullying and harrasment from coordinators on multiple occassions despite them being completely astute and aware of my mental health history

- Was slandered and had false rumours made up about me which were spread throughout the cohort and also to people in my placements which created unimaginable distress and sent me into a mental health crisis. A doctor sent me to emergency at the hospital because of my mental health state.

- Was refused time to see doctors for blood tests despite me being very ill from all the stress of my situation

- Was forced to go back to Australia after my psychologist told them i wasnt doing well and that they needed to excercise their duty of care. Was basically told to leave immediately and to tell my placements i was leaving because i had family issues.

- I witnessed severe bullying from the coodinator of Haifa towards a girl in our cohort who had physical limitations. Her mental health was approaching crisis point. This got worse when she faced biphobia as well. As somone who now identifies as bisexual, i feel there needs to be accountability placed on those responsible for this discrimination and mistreatment.

- One of my friends went to a placement and faced an anti semitic tirade from some arab students. He was highly distressed and asked his coordinator to not go back and they basically said suck it up.

The people at my placements were furious with how was i treated and one was close to intervening.

I need to say that these points are only the tip of the iceberg as to what i went through, it was hell.

The ramifications for my mental health from my time in Yahel were severe as i was hospitalised for 2 months when i got back to australia and have spent 12 months in intensive therapy to which i have nearly finished.

As somone who is now in the jewish community, i feel that it is my obligation to shed light on injustices. I do not want this to happen to anyone else and my review serves as reasonble consequence for how myself and my friends in the 2021-2022 cohort were treated.
