Israel Programming
-
Meals and Food Packages
Three warm home-cooked meals are provided daily in the Belev Echad house for wounded soldiers coming for treatment, their families, and anyone who wishes to join. Many wounded soldiers and their families also need assistance with necessities as they recover at home. Our food package program ensures that groceries are one less thing they need to think about.Â
-
Career Counseling
When the soldiers are ready, we help them make up for lost time with a jumpstart to their career and assistance with training and job placement.
-
Visiting the Wounded
Belev Echad has visited every hospital in Israel every day since the war began. Here, the soldiers connect with our program and appreciate the support offered from day one. We also deliver packages containing everything a newly wounded soldier would need after leaving the battlefield.
-
Therapeutic and Service Dogs
Partnered with a best friend for life, wounded soldiers benefit significantly from this connection, especially for treating PTSD. Many soldiers then become dog trainers themselves.Â
-
Martial Arts Training
Proven one of the best ways to restore a soldier’s confidence, martial arts therapy is a regular program in the Belev Echad house from which all the soldiers benefit.
-
Hydrotherapy
Taking place in our heated pool, the non-weight-bearing environment of water eases pressureÂ
on joints to move freely and expedite the functional processes of rehab.Â
-
Medical Treatment
At the war’s onset, Belev Echad transformed its program facility into a rehabilitation center to assist with hospital overflow. Full-time medical staff are available throughout the day to provide therapy and treatment for the newly wounded soldiers as they recover, and crucial medical supplies are always fully stocked. Located a 5-minute drive from the Tel Hashomer hospital, and with the help of our minivan, the Belev Echad house enables soldiers to come for treatment easily.Â
-
Physical and Occupational Therapy
A later step in the recovery process, physical and occupational therapy help our soldiers fully regain movement. The house provides a warm and comfortable place for the sessions.Â
-
Trauma Therapy
PTSD is the leading cause of death in wounded soldiers. Trauma therapy is essential for helping them recover from the horrors they have been through.Â
-
Prosthetic Limbs
Cost should never be an issue when it comes to allowing a wounded soldier to live a life without limits. We help our soldiers get fitted with the best options available and cover the costs.
