Therapeutic Intervention for IDF soldiers suffering from PTSD

The Summit Institute is a leading non-profit organization was established in 1973 in Israel, and works in the field of mental health disorders and post-trauma therapeutic interventions. The organization offers personalized counseling, social activities, vocational support and psychotherapeutic intervention to young people, all designed to guide participants towards healthy independent lives. Since October 7, Israel’s citizens have been in a state of trauma. The consequences will be felt for years to come. Among the most urgent need is to provide an extensive response to IDF soldiers suffering from PTSD as a result of combat experiences. In this vein, the Summit Institute is operating a program called ‘Yahalom’. It is a holistic program for IDF victims of trauma which is carried out either in a sheltered group home facility or through independent living with therapeutic interventions. The program for both options offers rehabilitation activities to support independent living, psychotherapy and group therapy, support with employment integration, leisure, cultural and sports activities. We invite you to take an important part and help the rehabilitation of our soldiers who need you now more than ever.
