摘要：At the 13th meeting of the European Society for Traumatic Stress Studies in 2013, a symposium was held that brought together international researchers and clinicians who were involved in psychosocial responses to disaster. A total of six disasters that occurred in five countries were presented and discussed. Lessons learned from these disasters included the need to: (1) tailor the psychosocial response to the specific disaster, (2) provide multi-dimensional psychosocial care, (3) target at-risk population groups, (4) proactively address barriers in access to care, (5) recognise the social dimensions and sources of resilience, (6) extend the roles for mental health professionals, (7) efficiently coordinate and integrate disaster response services, and (8) integrate research and evaluation into disaster response planning.Keywords: Disasters; mental health; psychosocial; trauma; disaster planning(Published: 20 December 2013)Citation: European Journal of Psychotraumatology 2013, 4: 22897 - http://dx.doi.org/10.3402/ejpt.v4i0.22897 This paper is part of the cluster 'Invited papers 13th European Conference on Traumatic Stress'.
