Our organization has dedicated over 25 years to increasing the capacity for effective trauma treatment in underserved communities worldwide. We were founded by Dr. Francine Shapiro, Ph.D., the developer of EMDR therapy, and we specialize in providing EMDR therapy basic training exclusively to nonprofits and public sector agencies. Our trainings maintain complete fidelity to the teachings of Dr. Shapiro. Our faculty is comprised of top-tier trainers and facilitators who undergo a rigorous training process. Additionally, our faculty are all volunteers! These passionate, experienced volunteers are dedicated to advancing EMDR therapy in communities and with populations in need.  

Beyond training, our organization coordinates a Trauma Recovery Network, with chapters throughout the United States and Canada, empowering volunteer EMDR clinicians to become proficient in emergency response methods and provide pro bono mental health support in times of crisis.
