The Rieger Center for Mental Health – 2024

The ongoing conflict has significantly impacted the mental health of Israeli soldiers and reservists. Official data indicates that by the end of 2024, approximately 10,000 soldiers are expected to face psychological crises, with many already experiencing severe emotional distress since the war began on October 7. The University of Haifa, with its proven track record in implementing longitudinal, national mental health initiatives, is uniquely positioned to tackle these growing challenges.
