ICAR Summit

Each year, at the ICAR Summit, we bring together leading experts and thought leaders from academia, the nonprofit sector, government, and the high-tech industry.

Built on the foundation that cross-functional and cross-sectoral collaboration is essential to accelerating innovation in mental health and trauma resilience, the summit provides a platform for diverse perspectives to converge and address some of the most pressing challenges in the field.

Accelerating Trauma Healing Through Collaboration

ICAR is committed to fostering collaboration among the many organizations working in this space, recognizing that tackling national mental health challenges requires a strategic alignment of efforts and resources with the broader needs of the population.

The summit facilitates meaningful connections, fosters knowledge-sharing, and creates synergies that will strengthen our collective capacity to respond to the mental health crisis.

2026 ICAR Summit Agenda

Day 1

Framing the Ecosystem and setting the stage for collective reflection and alignment

This day emphasized shared understanding and cross-sector dialogue as a foundation for collaboration. Participants explored Israel’s trauma-healing ecosystem, reviewed progress since the previous summit, and engaged in thematic sessions addressing core populations, system enablers, and the full continuum of healing – from prevention to rehabilitation.

Day 2

Integration, Innovation, and the Future of Healing shifted from framing to forward motion

On the second day our focus was on translating insights into action, integrating innovation, research, and technology to strengthen trauma-healing systems nationwide. Sessions explored cutting-edge therapies, data-driven care models, and collaborative impact strategies, culminating in an “Impact Showcase” celebrating partnerships that accelerate healing through radical collaboration.
