Supporting Israeli Soldiers and Their Families Through Trauma and PTSD
For many Israeli soldiers, returning home does not mean leaving the war behind.
Some wounds are visible. Others are carried silently.
In a personal message from the Galilee, Chaim Malespin and Joshua Aaron speak about the emotional weight carried by soldiers returning from military service and the importance of standing beside them and their families.
After years of serving to defend Israel, including during the recent war, Chaim shares his own experience of trauma and the impact military service has had on his family.
Joshua's two children have also served during the war.
“There are scars that are seen, and there are scars that are not seen inside.” — Chaim Malespin
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other forms of trauma can continue to affect soldiers long after they return home.
Joshua Aaron speaks about the responsibility to support those who have put their lives on the line, recognizing that many return to everyday life carrying experiences others cannot fully understand.
Chaim and Joshua call for practical, compassionate support for Israeli soldiers and their families.
That support can take many forms: sharing a meal, organizing a barbecue, offering friendship, providing qualified counseling, and creating opportunities for rest and recovery.
Chaim emphasizes that caring for soldiers should not end when their military service ends.
Our responsibility continues when they come home.
These soldiers have served their country. Now, Chaim invites us to stand beside them as they navigate the challenges of returning home.
Your support can help advance the commitment to offer comfort, practical care, and lasting friendship to soldiers affected by trauma and PTSD, alongside their families.
