We cannot, in good conscience, leave these children to try and heal on their own. The time for temporary fixes and empty promises is over.

"The rights of children living under the state of Israel's effective control are being gravely violated at a level that has rarely been seen in recent history," said Ann Skelton, of the UN Committee.

According to Prof. Shlomo Noy, President of Ono Academic College, “The events of October 7 and their aftermath have changed the entire concept of trauma therapy.”

Art captures feelings and experiences that can’t be expressed with words alone – which is why following October 7, Daniella Meller decided to address trauma through art.

EMDR can help remind us that trauma doesn’t define or consume us, that it has no right to steal any aspect of our lives.

Contrary to the research he carried out in the past, since the beginning of the war, many dreamers reported a deeper auditory dimension, such as sounds and noises of alarms, explosions, and screams.

Ranan Hartman, founder and CEO of Ono Academic College, explains why it is imperative to start discussing how the Jewish state needs to run its affairs in the aftermath of the Israel-Hamas war.

The experiences of war are unique, and the path to healing and integration into civilian life is equally individual, but one thing is certain: The journey doesn’t have to be navigated alone.

The Israeli Trauma Coalition includes several organizations with specific expertise: Mahut Israel, Selah, NATAL-Israel Trauma and Resiliency Center, ERAN Emotional First Aid, Amcha, and Hadassah.
