Tikkun Olam is a Hebrew term meaning "Healing the world." The Israel Trauma Coalition (ITC), which was founded in 2002, has expanded beyond Israel to aid the international community with professional training, developing community resilence and enhancing national emergency preparedness. The ITC sends teams all over the world to train local professionals and clinicians to manage traumas, promote rehabilitation, and create resilient, self-sustaing socities. It is places and situations like hurricane Harvey in Houston, the Boston Marathon bombing, typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines, the earthquake in Haiti, the tsunami in Japan, the school shooting in France, and terrorist attacks in Mumbai that the ITC provides psychological support and training.
