Organized by Hakon Stenmark (RVTS: Center for Violence, Traumatic Stress and Suicide Prevention Mid Norway) and Per Mossegaard (resource Center for Trauma Support, Sweden) together with vivo international e.V. a 2-days conference entitled „NET- developments and clinical practice“ was held on October 24 and 25 at the Quality Hotel Augustin in Trondheim, Norway. The 74 participants, scientists and practitioners working in mental health institutions in Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland, Germany, The Netherlands, England, USA, and the Democratic Republic of Kongo greatly benefitted from a rich program: Informative and inspiring field reports on the implementation of NET (and its variants) in various settings and contexts, and its efficiency in different populations suffering from the consequences of trauma and violence, were crowned by impressive key notes by Katy Robjant (Freedom from Torture, London, UK) on human trafficking, and Thomas Elbert (vivo international e.V. and University of Konstanz, Germany) on the societal roots and the societal implications of violence and traumatization. Presentations provided an inspiring basis for intense exchange among participants, new contacts and future collaborations. The audience greatly acknowledged the initiative and the arrangement with much applause and appreciation for the organizers.
