It’s time for policymakers to treat mental health with the seriousness it deserves. The health of Israel’s society depends on it.

The Family Institute clinic serves mostly haredi and National Religious clients, offering specialized therapy for individuals, couples, families, children, and victims of abuse.

Despite nearly two weeks of terror, Israelis, in true fashion, have returned to routine. But don’t be fooled – many people have been affected emotionally.

Daniel Edri's recent death by suicide is not an isolated tragedy, but rather part of a deeper national mental health crisis.

The study draws on decades of research in child development and twin studies to assess the psychological implications of such forced separations.

The study links effects on both mental and physical health with the financial strain that housing represents for the majority of Israelis and its nationwide implications.

Inquiry chair Wyn Williams said suffering ranged from minor financial liabilities to wrongful imprisonment, illness, despair, or suicide.

"He told me he saw horrors and said, 'Mom, I can’t stop smelling the bodies, and I see the bodies all the time,'" Daniel's mother, Sigal Edri, recalled.

The initiative aims to enhance the hospitalization experience for patients, whether they require mental health care or general medical treatment.
