Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The International Critical Incident Stress Foundation (ICISF) established an office in Europe in 2004. The ICISF European Office (EO) held its first ICISF European Conference on Critical Incident Stress Management on September 27th 2008. The conference was formally evaluated and the results are reported in this article. 140 participants from seventeen different European nations were counted In open-ended answers and standard rating scales, 83 participants gave feedback on the conference. They were asked about the relevance of the conference, the theory-to-practice transfer learning effects, quality of the presentations, organization, location and wishes to future conferences. The results were positive in all respects. They should focus on specific organizations or professional groups (e.g. rescue services) and take place in the falls of odd years.
