Peace of Mind Canada

Peace of Mind Canada Peace of Mind is dedicated to facilitating the emotional and psychological well being of released IDF combat soldiers.

Every year, thousands of young Israeli combat soldiers are discharged from military service and are returned to civilian life. Despite their lengthy and arduous physical training, scant attention is paid to their psychological preparedness to cope with the aftermath of their traumatic experiences. Many witnessed terrible sights, made split-second, life and death decisions, or experienced the loss

of a comrade and the ensuing grief and bereavement that followed. Most combat soldiers display remarkable emotional resilience in the face of traumatic situations. However, when discharged from the army, after three years or more spent in a strict military framework, many feel overwhelmed by the decisions and demands of civilian life. They may develop symptoms ranging from difficulties with concentration, or sleep and memory disorders. Other manifestations include substance abuse, anger management, and symptoms that can lead to full-blown Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The ‘Peace of Mind' intervention by ICTP strengthens the emotional resilience of recently discharged combat soldiers. It also identifies those who may be grappling with severe psycho trauma and ensures that they receive the treatment they need and deserve. 'Peace of Mind' enables Israeli combat soldiers who have contributed at least three of their most formative life years serving their country to embark upon productive civilian lives. The Peace of Mind program in Canada brings different groups of discharged veterans to Toronto several times a year with their therapists, are housed with members of our community, and are immersed in both therapy and community events during their stay. It truly becomes a meaningful week as they become aware of the caring, strength and unity of the Toronto Jewish community. It is an honour to give back to those men and women who have given so much of themselves not only to their country, but also to all the Jews in the Diaspora.
