Benefits of joining the ESTSS
The ESTSS draws its membership from a range of disciplines and professions with an interest in the broad field of psychotraumatology, for instance: psychologists, psychiatrists, researchers, students, nurses, social workers, priests etc. ESTSS membership will entitle you to the following:
- Reduced registration fees for all ESTSS sponsored conferences and meetings. For the main European Conferences of Traumatic Stress the saving on registration has been equivalent to the annual membership fee.

- The Newsletter of the ESTSS is published two or three times a year and is received by members free of charge.
