For the Pompidou Group of the Council of Europe and together with leading European psychotrauma experts we facilitated the production of recommendations on how people can better interact and communicate with people who have experienced a crisis or difficult life event. The recommendations were commissioned by the Council of Europe at the request of Ukraine and in light of the traumatic situations experienced by the Ukrainian population due to the Russian military attack on Ukraine and the ongoing hostilities. Partners in this project are: University Clinic of the Charité at St. Hedwig Hospital – Alexians – Israel Trauma Coalition – Psychiatric University Hospital Zurich.
