(Times of Israel) Nathan Jeffay - More than 200 Russian- and Ukrainian-speaking Israeli psychologists and social workers have established a hotline that has already helped hundreds of Ukrainians still in the warzone as well as refugees. "Those close to fighting are trying hard to deal with fears and stress, worry for their loved ones, and losing those close to them," said psychotherapist Dr. Zina Levitan from Rambam Medical Center in Haifa, who is helping to supervise the hotline. She said the hotline is providing "psychological first aid." Dr. Liat Ariel, director of the psychological service at Rambam, said, "We hear awful things from callers. They are in distress, sometimes extreme, and need help to continue to function and survive physically and mentally, to take care of themselves, their children and their parents. These are people who have lost confidence and stability."
