Background
"Israel is in one of the most severe mental health crises experienced by the entire world in general, and the Western world in particular, since World War II"
Dr. Gilad Bodenheimer, head of mental health services at the Ministry of Health
On October 7, 2023, the "Iron Swords" war began with Hamas's murderous attack on us, our families and our friends. Over a thousand murdered, thousands injured, kidnapped and an entire country where many were exposed to trauma and many feel anxiety. The horror stories broadcast in the media 24/7, the harsh images on social networks and the fear and uncertainty of the development of the fighting are enough to later create secondary post-traumatic stress disorders, anxiety and depression.
Iron Resilience is a social initiative that aims to provide an effective, accessible and broad response to challenges in the field of mental health created as a result of the war, or more precisely "the war of attrition on the Israeli psyche" that we have all been experiencing since COVID-19.
Our approach:
We are recruiting technologists, researchers, and mental health professionals to work together in multidisciplinary associations in a unique combination with a laboratory, clinic and startup in order to develop technological solutions in response to the uprising Israeli challenges.
