The fourth Nordic Bridge event was hosted by H.E. Trine Skymoen, the Ambassador of Norway in Hungary. This night was dedicated to Leading/Leaders in Times of Trauma. Our guest speaker was Lars Halaas Lyster, who is a clinical psychologist and special advisor at RVTS East (Regional Center – Violence, Trauma and Suicide Prevention).
"In my current job I advise policy makers, teach leaders and crisis teams in crisis management, create educational programs, and teach helpers on a national, regional and municipal level, supervise 1. Line workers, support and advice municipalities and governmental agencies during and after regional, national and international crisis and catastrophes.
I have worked as a clinical psychologist for several years. Trauma, violence, suicide prevention and crisis management are themes I have worked with as a clinician and as an educator. I have given support to the Norwegian armed forces for many years and have supervised leaders and given support to soldiers on site in Iraq, Afghanistan and Kosovo."
