The events of October 7th deeply impacted the fabric of life and disrupted the sense of continuity throughout Israeli society. Soldiers, reservists, and those who supported them in the fight are all working to regain a healthy, stable life routine.
Out of a deep sense of social responsibility, we aim to create a space that offers comprehensive support, helping individuals and families, especially reservists, adapt and return to daily life after the traumatic events of October 7th. Our center provides a lifeline for those struggling to reclaim their normal lives in the aftermath.
