As Israel faces the ongoing war, the mental health crisis has deepened, placing unprecedented strain on already stretched services. Prior to the war, the mental health care system was already grappling with significant challenges, including a severe shortage of specialists. With only 97 out of 8,731 medical residents specializing in rehabilitation in 2021 and a critical lack of mental health professionals, the current situation exacerbates the demand for psychological support across the nation. The war has not only heightened the immediate psychological trauma for those directly affected but also amplified the underlying stress and anxiety for the broader population, making mental health care an urgent priority. Rachashei Lev's mission has become even more crucial during these times. We offer not only support in navigating medical treatments but also essential emotional support to families dealing with pediatric cancer and other severe diseases, now compounded by war-induced stress. The escalating mental health challenges underscore the urgency of our comprehensive support. Despite steps to enhance mental health services, the demand far exceeds the supply, reinforcing our commitment to fill this critical gap for our patients and their families, those who need it most. |
| Your support now is more vital than ever, enabling us to extend our emotional and psychological support services to meet the growing needs of those affected by the war. Every donation to Rachashei Lev is a testament to your solidarity with these families, providing them with the strength and resilience to face their challenges. As we continue to navigate these difficult times, your generosity ensures that no family has to bear their burden alone. Thank you for your unwavering support and compassion. Together, we can continue to make a profound difference in the lives of those who rely on us, offering a beacon of hope amidst the darkness. |
