Today is World Su***de Prevention Day

In Israel, the human cost of mental health struggles is real and heartbreaking: approximately 500 people die by su***de each year, and there are around 6,000 su***de attempts annually.

At Chein, we believe no one should endure despair alone. Every call answered, every family supported, and every moment spent truly listening can mean the difference between isolation and hope.

✨ Together, we can break the silence.
✨ Together, we can extend a hand.
✨ Together, we can save lives.

If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out. Help is here. You are not alone.

What PTSD Looks Like in Israel Right Now

Since October 7th, trauma has rewired our nation.

Yes for soldiers.
Yes for victims.
Yes, everyone.

Family members, children, caregivers, and bystanders are all absorbing trauma in different ways.

💔 Flinching at the sound of an ambulance, or even a door slamming. Sirens live in their bones.
💔 Trapped in fight-or-flight mode. Just locked in survival.
💔 Exhaustion. Anxiety. Depression. Not always visible, but always there.

In the U.S., PTSD is considered an outlier.
In Israel? It’s a baseline.

1 in 3 Israelis is either suffering from or at high risk for PTSD.

We need to recognize the signs, talk about what we’re seeing, and show up for ourselves, our families, and this country, still learning how to breathe again.

We’ve been seeing something heartbreaking: clients who had found stability are suddenly back in crisis.
Why? Because once again, the war has intensified.
💔 Mothers of soldiers paralyzed with fear
💔 Teens turning to self-harm, overwhelmed by powerlessness
💔 Fathers silently unraveling under financial and emotional strain
And layered on top of all this, the Chagim can stir up loneliness, instability, and pain.
So this Shavuot, we’re asking something simple, powerful, and deeply Jewish:
Tefilah.
We’ve created a confidential Avnei Chein Tefilah List for anyone struggling with mental illness. Names will not be read aloud. They will be prayed for as a group “Refuah Sheleimah b’Briut HaGuf v’haNefesh.”
🕯Join us in prayer.
📎Submit names anonymously here: https://forms.gle/xESwuwgBnoiHDVW26
Because as Jews, we don’t pray instead of taking action.
We pray alongside it.

May Igor's memory be a blessing. Israeli society is struggling with an unprecedented national trauma. Nobody, not one person, can say they have been unaffected. This touches us all.

St.-Sgt.-Maj. Igor Pivnev shared his story of heroism several times. But friends and family now believe he kept much of his pain to himself—until the emotional toll became too much.
