Executive Board
The Antares Foundation is part of the ARQ Foundation. In 2010 the executive board consists of Jan Schaart and Jan Wilke Reerds. The Arq Foundation unites and supports specialised organisations around the theme of psychotrauma. Its purpose is to facilitate cooperation between these organisations, so that they can strengthen each other and so that each one may perform its work in the field of psychotrauma in an optimal way. Arq ensures the safeguarding as well as the optimum use of the expertise and experience in the field of psychotrauma that have been gained over the past 30 years. As a holding which provides support services, Arq does not itself carry out any care tasks.For further information on Arq and the partners in Arq, please go to: www.arq.org
