Project Mashiv Ha'Ruach
Responding to the needs of October 7th heroes
The need
During the days that followed 7/10 thousands of volunteers and professionals mobilized to help the national mission. The volunteers and professionals who came to the area and were in direct contact with the victims were exposed to sights and stories that nothing could have prepared them for. Although they are not officially recognized as victims of terrorism - they all experienced deep trauma and are in danger of developing post traumatic stress symptoms.
The circle of volunteers and professionals who were indirectly exposed to trauma, many thousands of people, are not entitled to assistance and treatment from the state and do not receive the mental support they need.
This circle is still growing, medical professionals, social workers, and therapists who are in direct daily contact with the victims of the attack - all are exposed to secondary trauma.
We are here for them.
Participants testimonials
"I knew something was not sitting well with me, but I didn't realize to what extent. A really heavy burden was lifted from my chest. Now I feel much better, mentally clean and liberated"
"At the end of the workshop, I felt freed, happy, and full with powers to continue doing. The days have gone by and we feel that we have received tools and strength to continue our work, blessed routine, and happy family life without remnants of the past"
"Yesterday evening, I met the soldiers who have been with me for 90 days and I realized how different I am from them. How much this process healed my soul. Thanks again to everyone who took part in the formation of the 'Mashiv HaRuach'"
"A special thank you to everyone who participated with me in the workshop, we laughed, we sang, we prayed, we got excited, I learned a lot from you, and I drew strength from you. I appreciate them very much"
How does it looks like?
