Navigating PTSD Together

Our Mission

Israel is experiencing an unprecedented PTSD crisis, exacerbated by recent conflicts, with projections estimating an additional 500,000 cases since October 7th. Despite the severity, over 90% of PTSD survivors—many of whom are IDF reservists—never begin rehabilitation due to shame, lack of early detection, and complex recovery systems. These barriers lead to severe emotional, economic, and social consequences.
 
Helem.Club is a survivor-led movement offering a comprehensive PTSD rehabilitation system, uniquely designed to integrate all stages of recovery. By leveraging lived experience, Helem.Club transforms PTSD rehabilitation from a fragmented, overwhelming process into a streamlined, peer-supported journey.

Our Work

We envision a future where every trauma survivor can easily begin, sustain, and advance their recovery—transforming into empowered individuals who embrace post-traumatic growth. We operate a pre-software system uniting all rehabilitation phases into one seamless process. Advanced digital tools identify individuals in trauma denial, helping them overcome stigma. They join a supportive community that offers knowledge, tools, and recommendations in healthcare, rights fulfillment, employment, relationship management, and more. Through our Fabulous Trauma Educators, survivors share personal stories to educate families, colleagues, and employers. Finally, our Emotional Accessibility program partners with employers to adapt work environments for people with PTSD.
 
Today, Helem.Club is providing 24/7 direct peer-to-peer support to over 1,500 people with PTSD through our digital communities. Helem.Club members are injured reservists, survivors of sexual assault and terror attacks.
