The European Network for Traumatic Stress - Training and Practice (TENTS-TP) aims to widely disseminate and implement evidence based practice for those affected by traumatic events to promote social inclusion throughout the entire European region. This will be achieved by developing guidelines that effectively integrate mental health promotion and disorder prevention into the training and practice of professionals in mental health and social services. TENTS-TP will integrate the work of other European projects in the field.
The final aim is to raise levels of knowledge and expertise of the end users of this project (mental health and social service professionals) which will result in improved services to those affected by traumatic events. Professionals responsible for teaching and training in this field will be identified, provided with evidence based practice teaching package and equipped to implement this in a sustainable manner in partner countries.
