The European Society for Traumatic Stress Studies (ESTSS) invites professionals and stakeholders across Europe to contribute to the updating of The European Network for Traumatic Stress (TENTS) Guidelines for mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) following disasters and major emergencies.
Originally developed in 2008, the TENTS Guidelines provide evidence-based recommendations for planning, preparing and delivering psychosocial support following disasters and major incidents.
ESTSS is now supporting an update of these guidelines through a research project led by Dr Miranda Olff and Dr Chris Hoeboer at Amsterdam University Medical Center.
As part of this process, a stakeholder survey is being conducted to map existing MHPSS resources, identify gaps and priorities, and inform the development of updated recommendations.
Who can participate?
We welcome contributions from policymakers, health system administrators, MHPSS programme implementers, researchers, clinical experts and representatives of relevant European and international organisations involved in disaster preparedness and response.
The survey covers the wider European region, including EU and EEA countries, the Balkans, Georgia, Türkiye, the United Kingdom and Ukraine.
Take part in the survey
The survey is anonymous and available in English.
