The impact extended beyond the couple\u2019s relationship. More than half (52%) of spouses reported a negative change in their children\u2019s mental state up to age 21. In families where the reservist served between 200 and 250 days, that figure rose to 63%.<\/p>\n
In addition, 61% of spouses said they needed some form of assistance due to reserve duty. Of these, 55% required emotional or psychological support, and 38% needed financial aid. Overall, 35% sought mental health treatment, and among families of ground forces soldiers, 68% turned to private sources for such assistance. The longer the service, the higher the rate of those seeking help.<\/p>\n

Among families of reservists who served over 250 days, 37% received IDF assistance, compared to only 20% among those who served up to 50 days. As for payments from the National Insurance Institute, 87% of respondents said they received their entitlements\u201468% in full and 19% in part.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A new report by the Central Bureau of Statistics reveals significant harm to the family life of reserve…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":42907,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[34139,42,1031,34140,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-42906","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-central-bureau-of-statistics","tag-headlines","tag-idf","tag-miluim","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42906","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42906"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42906\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/42907"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42906"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=42906"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=42906"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
