HEART 9/11 was asked by VerziumConsult to be the keynote speaker on an international online symposium bringing together U.S. and Dutch perspectives on stress, resilience, and adaptive strategies in high-risk professions on March 25, 2026.

This unique event featured collaboration between leading organizations in both countries along with Germany, Italy, South America, Austria, France, Switzerland and others. Participating Dutch partners included VerzuimConsult, Reveal, VU University (MentaalFit Project), and the Dutch Fire Department, alongside U.S. based organizations committed to advancing mental health and resilience.

Together, presenters explored shared challenges, highlighted evidence-based approaches, and identified opportunities for cross-border learning and collaboration.
