How can we ensure that support reaches everyone affected by traumatic events?

Estonia lacks a systematic approach to providing people with psychological, emotional and social support following traumatic events.

The team developed a cooperation model and practical tools for local government employees, which are being piloted in two regions of Estonia. These solutions are intended to help local authorities respond quickly and act appropriately following traumatic events.

The project involved the Ministry of Social Affairs, the Social Insurance Board, the Police and Border Guard Board, the Association of Local Authorities of Harju County and Võru City Government.

The project mentor was Krõõt Kroonmäe.
