The ICAR Collective–Momentum roundtable on September 29th brought together people who rarely sit at the same table. Around it were senior representatives from ~35 key stakeholders in the field. This was only a small sample. The goal was not to celebrate collaboration but to face what isn’t working, and to ask whether a coordinated system of care for soldiers and their families is still possible.

On September 12, 2025 ICAR Collective hosted a webinar on post-traumatic growth (PTG) with Dr. Edith Shiro—clinical psychologist, author of The Unexpected Gift of Trauma—and Prof. Eyal Fruchter—psychiatrist, PTSD expert, and ICAR’s Head of Medical & Scientific Affairs.  It was an hour of straight talk with no sugarcoating and real tools.

The Margaret and Daniel Loeb Foundation, together with ICAR Collective, brought together grantees and donors to look closely at the mental health response in Israel after October 7.

Psychoeducation—teaching people about trauma and mental health—can transform confusion into clarity and restore dignity for those rebuilding their lives.
