ITC activities through Iron Swords War

Israel is at war — a war that began on October 7, 2023, following the largest terrorist attack on Israeli civilians since the country’s founding. Daily life on the civilian home front has been marked by a continuous state of emergency, including the ongoing threat of dozens of rocket attacks each day targeting civilian populations, repeated infiltration attempts into Israeli territory, and acts of terrorism against Israeli citizens. Alongside this, there is constant concern for the safety of soldiers and the hostages held in Gaza.The impact of the war spares no one. Every Israeli citizen is affected, experiencing emotional strain, functional exhaustion, and disruption to daily life as a direct result of the war and the ongoing breakdown of normal routines.

Establishment and Management of Resilience Centers

Resilience Centers provide rapid, coordinated support during emergencies — offering proactive, multi-disciplinary care and strengthening community preparedness.

Training Framework for Professionals and Volunteers

We offer practical trainings to build community resilience — including emergency preparedness, self-care, and psychological first aid — for both professionals and volunteers.

The Coalition's Work in Israel and Abroad

For 21 years, we've led efforts in resilience, emergency response, and trauma recovery — providing guidance and support across Israel and around the world, wherever it's needed most.

What We Do

The Israel Trauma Coalition (ITC), founded in 2001 through the initiative of the UJA Federation of New York, has become a cornerstone of national trauma care and emergency preparedness in Israel, as well as a recognized center of international expertise. Together with our partners, ITC establishes and manages Resilience Centers, operates regional training hubs for emergency management skills, and provides organizations with practical tools and resources for clinical and psychosocial recovery — supporting individuals, families, and communities. We are also deeply committed to strengthening the resilience of care providers and frontline response teams.
