Our students, faculty and university staff have once again found themselves at the frontlines of war – being called up for IDF reserve duty, coping with an unprecedented wave of missile attacks and worrying about their families’ survival.
Students are reporting acute stress, panic attacks, depression, anxiety, and sleepless nights. They share that hearing the explosions and feeling the walls shake brings back trauma – some from October 7th, others from recent service in Gaza. For many, the sense of security they had only just begun to rebuild is now shattered again.
Tel Aviv University’s National Center for Post Trauma and Resilience and the Student Success Center are doing everything they can to meet this moment and support our students. But the demand is growing rapidly – and we need your help.
