Episode Details

What happens after soldiers return home carrying invisible wounds that affect not only themselves, but also their families, relationships, and communities? In this episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with Lauren Masuzzo to explore a groundbreaking trauma recovery program in Israel that is helping combat soldiers heal through an intensive five-day therapeutic protocol. Combining multiple healing modalities, community support, measurable psychological assessments, and deeply immersive treatment, the program is producing remarkable outcomes for soldiers struggling with the lasting emotional and physiological effects of war.

Throughout the conversation, Lauren explains why trauma recovery requires more than traditional talk therapy alone and how unresolved trauma can impact every aspect of a person’s life — from marriage and parenting to professional performance and long-term health. The discussion also explores the broader role philanthropy can play in advancing innovative healing solutions, the importance of community and human connection, and how measurable outcomes are helping this work gain international attention. Whether you are interested in mental health, veteran support, philanthropy, trauma recovery, or holistic healing approaches, this episode offers a powerful and deeply human conversation about resilience, dignity, and restoring hope after unimaginable experiences.
