In the aftermath of the events of October 7th and the ongoing conflict in our region, many of our students have reported increased symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues. In addition, nearly 1,500 University of Haifa students are returning from serving on the front lines and are now readjusting to campus life. For many of them, the transition from battlefield to classroom can be psychologically jarring. Timely intervention is crucial to prevent the escalation of these issues and ensure their mental health.
The Psychological Counseling Center. The Center offers a range of subsidized therapies tailored to students throughout the academic year. In response to the escalating demand for mental health services, the University of Haifa’s Psychological Counseling Center has undergone a substantial expansion, bolstering its staff by 50% from 30 to 47 dedicated professionals.
