    American Friends of Peace of Mind Inc.

    Mission

    American Friends of Peace of Mind is a registered 501C3 with the purpose of supporting the Metiv Israel Psychotrauma Center generally and its Peace of Mind project for IDF veterans in particular. Peace of Mind is a therapeutic intervention in which Metiv therapists provide a space and time for IDF veterans to process their combat experiences in a supportive environment. The program included a week spent hosted with a Jewish community abroad. The veterans emerge with strengthened emotional and mental health, allowing for a healthier transition from military to civilian life. Metiv has set up early childhood intervention programs, school programs, and trauma services. Included among them was the National School Resilience Project, in coordination with the Israel Ministry of Education. Through this project, Metiv provided resilience-building training for over 5,000 educators and has developed a protocol, screening tools, and treatment programs for nearly 50,000 children. In an evaluation we conducted with the Center for Disease Control (CDC) in Atlanta in 2011-2012 to examine the effectiveness of this joint intervention we found that working with educators successfully reduces post-traumatic distress in their students.
