The Antares Foundation is a non-profit organisation based in the Netherlands. The mission of the Antares Foundation is to improve the quality of management and staff support and care in humanitarian and developmental organisations.
The Antares Foundation offers support to the managers of humanitarian organisations working closest to populations affected by conflict or natural disaster. These organisations work in continually changing contexts and in circumstances of great complexity. This results in increasing pressure, insecurity and personal danger for their staff. Both management and staff are in need of professional tools to handle work-related stress and cope with chaotic and life threatening situations.
Staff and associates of the Antares Foundation offer support in designing psychosocial systems within humanitarian organizations at every level from management to individual. We also offer training and coaching in stress management to national and international NGOs. Direct psychosocial support is offered on the spot after critical incidents and prolonged severe stress in teams.
To the managers of humanitarian organizations the Antares Foundation offers project-analysis and evaluation, tools for project management and direct coaching and support in the field.
The Antares Foundation cooperates with academic institutions in large scale research projects and in developing psychosocial systems and professional management tools. The first edition of our Guidelines for Good Practice was published in 2005 and a second edition followed in 2006. Work continues on their further development, and future publications are scheduled both on our Guidelines and on the broader field of our research.
To raise awareness of the urgency of our mission the Antares Foundation lobbies in the humanitarian world through funding institutions, donors and sponsors.
The Antares Foundation works with an international network of specialists and offers her services anywhere in the world.
