A new report by ELEM reveals a sharp rise in anxiety, anger, and self-harm among teenagers during Operation Roaring Lion.
“When it comes to youth, you can’t simply erase six weeks of sirens and sleepless nights. We must not neglect the emotional state of our children.”
Passover is here again, but for many teens, this holiday of “freedom” feels like a distant reality.
“COVID was here, the first war was here, and we refuse to remain foolish, obtuse, or complacent; we must look back and draw lessons.”
ELEM reports an increase in requests to support hotlines and centers, alongside a worsening of risky behaviors and mental distress under the shadow of the war—including rising anxiety levels and substance use.
