The full steering committee is listed here.

 

Our society is partner in the Global Collaboration on Traumatic Stress. The Global Collaboration on Traumatic Stress consists of researchers and clinicians representing traumatic stress societies worldwide who work together on traumatic stress topics of global importance. As part of a package of global activities the Global Collaboration on Traumatic Stress was initiated by ISTSS in 2012 (See Olff, 2014; 2015; Schnyder, 2013, Schnyder & Olff, 2013,  Schnyder, et al., 2017) when the global project team with representatives from eight traumatic stress societies first met and decided on the first topics on which to collaborate.

 

The aims of the Global collaboration are:

"To identify objectives, facilitate development, and coordinate activities of global importance [..]  the community of traumatic stress researchers and practitioners should develop collaborations, and ultimately structures, that would enable them to optimally respond to those tasks that are best addressed by means of international collaboration" (Schnyder et al., 2017).
