APA condemns attacks on Israel, offers mental health resources

In a statement, the American Psychiatric Association condemned the recent terrorist attacks in Israel and offered support and mental health resources to those affected by these unfolding events.

“APA sends our support to all those affected in Israel and around the world. We mourn those who were lost and call for the immediate return of all hostages to their families. The scale of this terrorist act and the harm it is causing is unfathomable,” the statement read.

The APA directed those seeking mental health support to visit https://www.psychiatry.org/patients-families/coping-after-disaster-trauma.

“It is our firm hope that one day we can see peace between the Israelis and Palestinians and an end to the violence in the Middle East,” the APA stated.
