Social Justice and Trauma Informed EMDR Online

Explaining EMDR to clients in a trauma-informed way aligned with social justice is imperative to supporting BIPoC and LGBTQ+ clients and who will begin the challenging and rewarding process of healing and creating new connections to their past. This training focuses on learning how the EMDR protocol can support this and how collaboration and de-mystifying EMDR is aligned with trauma informed care and social justice.

If you are interested in pursuing further training and certification you can find more information on https://www.emdria.org/
