"From Captivity to Resilience"

Behind the scenes lecture with the Hostage Debrief Team Leader

On October 7th, Glenn was mobilized to serve for over 150 days in emergency reserve duty in the IDF Hostage Negotiation Unit, and was appointed to be the first mental health professional to debrief the hostages upon their return. He subsequently founded and led the team that debriefed 168 returned hostages.

Glenn will share an exclusive perspective of the hostage situation, what they endured as well as their coping mechanisms which are an inspiration for us all.

After granting a private briefing to the President and Prime Minister of Israel, you too can hear Glenn's unique perspective.

In this talk, he will not only share the stories of the 168 returned hostages , but also take you behind the scenes as a Mossad psychologist, I.D.F. hostage negotiator, and POW expert, sharing from his personal and professional experience in POW survival training and combat trauma treatment.

I left Glenn Cohen's presentation 'From Captivity to Resilience' moved and inspired. I was not surprised to hear in the summary that he was the best speaker that we heard on our four day solidarity mission.
