It was a huge pleasure to come together with so many colleagues from across the world to celebrate the achievements and advancements from across our field at ESTSS 2025 in Tbilisi, Georgia. In addition to so many inspiring contributions across the three days, our Biennial Conference once again epitomised to me how our psychological trauma community is very much a family that extends across Europe and beyond. There are too many highlights to mention, so I encourage you to take a look at the conference review on ESTSS.org and review our coverage on our social media feeds. On behalf of the ESTSS, I want to extend particular thanks to our fabulous hosts, the Georgian Society for Psychotrauma. All of us who were able to attend have undoubtedly left as ambassadors for your wonderful country.
We’re excited to announce that ESTSS 2027 will be in Coimbra, Portugal. Please do look at estss2027.com, and put the dates in your diary now.
There’s lots more news highlighted below – remember that the ESTSS is your society, so if you wish to highlight any activities or events in your country or region, please do get in touch.
As we enter the summer months, I hope there will be an opportunity for some rejuvenating rest and reflection for us all. I look forward to sharing some updates on how our ESTSS family continues to develop and grow in our next newsletter.

ESTSS President
