These are very difficult times in our land. We expect thousands of people that will suffer from diagnosed type of PTSD. 


This disorder can manifest as

persistent and distressing

symptoms, including flashbacks,

nightmares, severe  anxiety, and

emotional numbness.  

Individuals with PTSD may find it

challenging to manage their daily lives, relationships, and overall sense of security

Preventing PTSD- SOS programs

Within days of the brutal massacre on October 7th, the team at MAPS Israel in collaboration of the Hakomi institute of Israel, in addition to dozens of MAPS Israel-trained

therapists, and therapists across Israel, organized therapeutic crisis response to provide individual and group therapy for survivors of the Nova Rave and Kibbutzim and Moshavim massacres in the South.   MAPS Israel continues to work regularly with survivors in Eilat, developing trauma based therapy programs for the October 7th survivors.

​

In the latest Lykos phase 3 study of MDMA therapy for PTSD (MAPP2), we've seen breakthrough results with 71.2% of patients who don't suffer from PTSD as a result from the treatment, and 86.5% who experienced a decrease in symptoms of PTSD. 

​

Inspired from these results, MAPS Israel is working to start group MDMA therapy multisite study for survivors of the October 7th
